C-H Nitrooxylation at benzylic positions has been achieved by employing the N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalyst/cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) reagent system. The nitrooxy groups were demonstrated to function as tentative hydroxy protecting groups, as well as excellent leaving groups for N- and C-substitution reactions. Hence, the present method offers a unique way to synthesize diverse O-, N-, or C-functionalized benzylic compounds from simple alkyl aromatics.
The Reaction of the Highly Functionalized Copper Reagents RCu(CN)ZnI.BF3 with Aldehydes

The new copper reagent RCu(CN)ZnI2, which may contain important functional groups like the ester nitrile, enoate or imide group, react in the presence of BF3.OEt2 with aldehydes to afford polyfunctional secondary alcohols in googd yields (68-93percent).
