Efficient and highly selective catalytic conditions for the aerobic autoxidation of
methylarenes to benzaldehydes, based on N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and cobalt (II) …

A simple cobalt (II)/N-hydroxyphthalimide catalyst system has been identified for selective
conversion of benzylic methylene groups in pharmaceutically relevant (hetero) arenes to the …

A metal-free heterogeneous photocatalytic system has been developed for highly efficient
benzylic C–H oxygenations using oxygen as an oxidant. This visible light mediated …

Oxidized products have become increasingly valuable as building blocks for a wide variety
of different processes and fine chemistry, especially in the benzylic position. We report …

Functionalized pyridines are privileged scaffolds in various fields. The C-4 selective
functionalization of pyridines is perhaps the most convenient protocol to pyridine derivatives …

Heterocycles are a ubiquitous substructure in organic small molecules designed for use in
materials and medicines. Recent work in catalysis has focused on enabling access to new …

A visible‐light‐induced oxidation of diazenyl‐protected tetrahydroisoquinolines and
isoindolines for the synthesis of structurally diverse lactams is developed. The reaction was …

Conventional oxidation catalysts frequently exhibit limited selectivity, restricting their use in
industrial syntheses. In particular, for the continuous synthesis of complex active …
