Oxone as an Inexpensive, Safe, and Environmentally Benign Oxidant for C−H Bond Oxygenation

Abstract
[reaction: see text] This paper describes the application of peroxide-based oxidants in the Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed acetoxylation and etherification of arene and alkane C-H bonds. Oxone in acetic acid and/or methanol proved particularly effective, and these transformations were applied to a wide variety of substrates.
