Hydrocarbons, especially saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), are the main constituents of oil
and natural gas, the feedstocks for chemical industry. Therefore, it is obvious that …

As the main constituent of natural gas, alkanes are arguably Nature's most plentiful organic
base chemicals that are easily accessible. Chemists have long coveted the use of alkanes …

The enantioselective functionalization of ubiquitous C (sp 3)–H bonds is ideally suited for
the construction of three-dimensional chiral structures. However, organic molecules often …

Abstract C− H/N‐H cross‐coupling is an ideal strategy to synthesize various amines but
remains challenging owing to the requirement for sacrificial chemical oxidants and the …

The direct, site-selective alkylation of unactivated C (sp3)–H bonds in organic substrates is a
long-standing goal in synthetic chemistry. General approaches to the activation of strong C …

Many isopoly-and heteropolyoxometalate (POM) anions are ideal candidates for the
observation of homogeneous-phase outer-sphere electron-transfer processes and for …

The oxidation of benzyl alcohols with the enzyme laccase, under mediation by appropriate
mediator compounds, yields carbonylic products, whereas laccase can not oxidise these …

An organocatalytic site-selective electrochemical method for the benzylic C–H amination
reactions of alkylarenes with azoles through hydrogen evolution has been developed. The …

Photoredox catalysis (PRC) is a cutting-edge frontier for single electron-transfer (SET)
reactions, enabling the generation of reactive intermediates for both oxidative and reductive …

In this Forum Article, we discuss the use of dioxygen (O2) in oxidations catalyzed by
polyoxometalates. One-and two-electron-transfer oxidation of organic substrates is …
