A method for the selective monooxdiation of secondary benzylic C–H bonds is described using an N-oxyl catalyst and a hypervalent iodine species as a terminal oxidant. Combinations of ammonium iodate and catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were shown to be effective in the selective oxidation of n-butylbenzene directly to 1-phenylbutyl acetate in high yield (86%). This method shows moderate substrate tolerance in the oxygenation of substrates containing secondary benzylic C–H bonds, yielding the corresponding benzylic acetates in good to moderate yield. Tertiary benzylic C–H bonds were shown to be unreactive under similar conditions, despite the weaker C–H bond. A preliminary mechanistic analysis suggests that this NHPI-iodate system is functioning by a radical-based mechanism where iodine generated in situ captures formed benzylic radicals. The benzylic iodide intermediate then solvolyzes to yield the product ester.

An oxidation system comprising phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) and iodosobenzene with inorganic bromide, i.e., sodium bromide, in an organic solvent led to the direct introduction of carboxylic acids into benzylic C–H bonds under mild conditions. The unique radical species, generated by the homolytic cleavage of the labile I(III)–Br bond of the in situ-formed bromo-λ3-iodane, initiated benzylic carboxylation with a high degree of selectivity for the secondary benzylic position.

Catalytic oxidation of benzylic CH bonds with potassium bromate to carbonyl compounds was studied in the presence of ceria nanoparticles (NPs). Aldehydes and ketones in high yields were obtained when the oxidation was conducted in water/1,4-dioxane/acetic acid (AcOH) by ratio 5/1/1 (v/v/v). Benzyl esters were also yielded as the main products from the oxidation of benzylic CH bonds with potassium bromate in the presence of ceria NPs in glacial acetic acid. In comparison with other methods reported in the literature, ceria NPs as an efficient catalyst in oxidation of benzylic CH bonds have advantageous such as selectivity, recyclability, high reaction rate, and high yield of product because of their large specific surface area to volume ratio.
