methods based on radical reactions strongly favor hydroxylation
at benzylic and tertiary C−H bonds. Previously reported Ir-
catalyzed silylation reactions were limited to those occurring at
primary C−H bonds.14 Now, we have shown that a secondary
C−H bond can undergo hydroxylation by a sequence of C−H
silylation and Tamao−Fleming oxidation reactions and that this
sequence can be conducted site selectively and diastereo-
selectively. Moreover, the 40:1 ratio of the rate for functionaliz-
ation of a primary C−H bond vs a secondary C−H bond gives
rise to selective reactions at a primary position, but allows
reactions to occur at a secondary position when a primary C−H
bond is not located γ to the alcohol. Further studies of the
reaction mechanism, functionalization of complex alcohols, and
development of an asymmetric version of this reaction are
currently in progress.
