Partial oxidation of light alkanes to generate alkyl esters has been achieved under photochemical conditions using mixtures of iodine oxides and chloride salts in trifluoroacetic acid (HTFA). The reactions are catalytic in chloride and are successful using compact fluorescent light, but higher yields are obtained using a mercury lamp. In this photo-initiated oxyesterification process, the robust alkyl ester products are resistant to over-oxidation, and under optimized conditions yields for alkyl ester production of ～50 % based on methane, ～60 % based on ethane (with a total functionalized yield of EtX (X=TFA or Cl) of 80 %) and ～30 % based on propane have been demonstrated. The reaction also proceeds in aqueous HTFA and dichloroacetic acid with lower yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the process likely operates by a chlorine hydrogen atom abstraction pathway wherein alkyl radicals are generated, trapped by iodine, and converted to alkyl trifluoroacetates in situ.

In the reaction of alkenes (cyclohexene, 1-hexene, styrene) with compounds of tetravalent lead in various acids (trifluoroacetic, acetic, methanesulfonic, perchloric) in the presence of metal chlorides the joint addition of the chloride anion and the anion of the respective acids to the alkenes takes place with a high degree of selectivity, leading to the formation of vicinal bifunctional derivatives of alkanes.The effectiveness of the addition of the anions of the acids to the alkenes under the given conditions varies directly with the strength of the acid and inversely with the nucleophilicity and the basicity of its anion.A new convenient method is proposed for the oxidative chlorofluorination of cyclohexene in aqueous hydrofluoric acid.
