Abstract

The direct functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds is an attractive research topic in organic synthetic chemistry. The cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction provides a simple and powerful tool for the construction of C–C and C–heteroatom bonds. Recently, some progress has been made in the iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidative CDC reactions. Here, we present recent developments in the direct functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds catalyzed by simple iron salts with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.
