The development of an electrochemically driven, ruthenium-catalyzed C-H hydroxylation reaction of amine-derived substrates bearing tertiary C-H bonds is described. The reaction is performed under constant current electrolysis in a divided cell to afford alcohol products in yields comparable to those of our previously reported process, which requires the use of stoichiometric H5IO6 for catalytic turnover. With aqueous acid as solvent, the cathodic electrode reaction simply involves the reduction of protons to evolve hydrogen gas. The optimized protocol offers a convenient, efficient, and atom-economical method for sp3-C-H bond oxidation.
Remote C(sp3)-H Oxygenation of Protonated Aliphatic Amines with Potassium Persulfate

This letter describes the development of a method for selective remote C(sp3)-H oxygenation of protonated aliphatic amines using aqueous potassium persulfate. Protonation serves to deactivate the proximal C(sp3)-H bonds of the amine substrates and also renders the amines soluble in the aqueous medium. These reactions proceed under relatively mild conditions (within 2 h at 80 °C with amine as limiting reagent) and do not require a transition metal catalyst. This method is applicable to a variety of types of C(sp3)-H bonds, including 3°, 2°, and benzylic C-H sites in primary, secondary, and tertiary amine substrates.
