Electrochemical Cobalt-Catalyzed C –H Oxygenation at Room Temperature

JacsElectrochemical Cobalt-Catalyzed C –H Oxygenation at Room Temperature: Electrochemical cobalt-catalyzed C –H functionalizations were achieved in terms of C–H oxygenation under mild conditions at 23 °C. The robust electrochemical C–H functionalization was characterized by ample substrate scope, whereas mechanistic studies provided support for a facile C–H cleavage. The electrochemical cobalt -catalyzed C–H oxygenation proved viable on arenes and alkenes with excellent levels of positional and diastereo-selectivity, avoiding the use of stoichiometric silver(I) oxidants under ambient conditions.
