Iodine(III) promotes cross-dehydrogenative coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide and unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds
Robust and selective C–H functionalisation of alkanes remains a challenge. Here, iodine(III) mediates the radical coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide and unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds in a range of cyclic and acyclic alkanes.
