Immobilization of rhodium (palladium)-copper-chloride catalytic systems in ionic liquids as high-boiling-point solvents affects the distribution of propane oxidation products: the acetone yield increases and the yield of alcohols decreases. Propane is oxidized to acetone, bypassing the isopropanol formation step. Methane is oxidized under more severe conditions than propane, giving methyl trifluoroacetate as the main product. Mechanisms of action of the catalytic systems based on rhodium and palladium are close to each other and likely include oxo or peroxo complexes as intermediates.
Copper-mediated direct aryl C-H cyanation with azobisisobutyronitrile via a free-radical pathway

An unprecedented protocol for the copper-mediated direct cyanation of aryl C-H by employing 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a free radical "CN" source is presented. The protocol not only provides a more efficient pathway for the synthesis of aryl nitriles in terms of the yields and the loading amount of copper salts but also, more importantly, represents a novel strategy for aryl C-H cyanation via a CN free-radical mechanism as compared to the CN anion-participating protocols often reported.
