An alkoxyl radical guided strategy for site-selective functionalization of unactivated methylene and methine C?H bonds enabled by an FeII-catalyzed redox process is described. The mild, expeditious, and modular protocol allows efficient remote aliphatic fluorination, chlorination, amination, and alkynylation of structurally and electronically varied primary, secondary, and tertiary hydroperoxides with excellent functional-group tolerance. The application for one-pot 1,4-hydroxyl functionalization of non-oxygenated alkane substrates initiated by aerobic C?H oxygenation is also demonstrated.

Excited-state behavior of eight α-alkyl dibenzyl ketones (alkyl = CH3 through n-C8H17) that are capable of undergoing type II and/or type I photoreactions has been explored in isotropic solution and within a water-soluble capsule. The study consisted of two parts: photochemistry that explored the excited-state chemistry and an NMR analysis that revealed the packing of each guest within the capsule. The NMR data (COSY, NOESY, and TOCSY experiments) revealed that ternary complexes between α-alkyl dibenzyl ketones and the capsule formed by two cavitands are kinetically stable, and the guests fall into three packing motifs modulated by the length of the α-alkyl chain. In essence, the host is acting as an external template to promote the formation of distinct guest conformers. The major products from all eight guests upon irradiation either in hexane or in buffer solution resulted from the well-known Norrish type I reaction. However, within the capsule the excited-state chemistry of the eight ketones was dependent on the alkyl chain length. The first group consisted of α-hexyl, α-heptyl, and α-octyl dibenzyl ketones that yielded large amounts of Norrish type II products within the host, while in solution the major products were from Norrish type I reaction. The second group consists of α-butyl and α-pentyl dibenzyl ketones that yield equimolar amounts of two rearranged starting ketones within the capsule (combined yield of ca 60%), while in solution no such products were formed. The third group consisted of α-methyl, α-ethyl, and α-propyl dibenzyl ketones that within the capsule yielded only one (not two) rearranged starting ketone in larger amounts (21-35%) while in solution no rearrangement product was obtained. Variation in the photochemistry of the guest within the capsule, with respect to the α-alkyl chain length of the guest, highlights the importance of how a small variation in supramolecular structure can influence the selectivity within a confined nanoscale reactor.
