CH Oxidative Functionalization Enabled Transformations of the Alkenes

Abstract Both the CH bonds and alkenes are abundant, readily available feedstocks, and have attracted much ongoing attention on the development of efficient methods for their ideal transformations. Methods that merge their transformations in a single reaction are particularly appealing due to their highest atom‐/step‐economy for constructing complex molecules. Here, recent advances in the CH oxidative functionalization enabled transformations of the alkenes are summarized. To date, a variety of CH bonds, including C(sp 3 )H and C(sp 2 )H bonds, underwent the functionalization across the CC bonds in alkene to enable the transformation of alkenes, such as difunctionalization of alkenes and alkylation/arylation of alkenes. These transformations of alkenes are achieved using two strategies, including the radical‐mediated oxidative strategy or transition‐metal oxidative catalysis.
