Hydration of alkenes using first row transition metals (Fe, Co, Mn) under oxygen atmosphere (Mukaiyama-type hydration) is highly practical for alkene functionalization in complex synthesis. Different hydration protocols have been developed, however, control of the stereoselectivity remains a challenge. Herein, highly diastereoselective Fe-catalyzed anaerobic Markovnikov-selective hydration of alkenes using nitroarenes as oxygenation reagents is reported. The nitro moiety is not well explored in radical chemistry and nitroarenes are known to suppress free radical processes. Our findings show the potential of cheap nitroarenes as oxygen donors in radical transformations. Secondary and tertiary alcohols were prepared with excellent Markovnikov-selectivity. The method features large functional group tolerance and is also applicable for late-stage chemical functionalization. The anaerobic protocol outperforms existing hydration methodology in terms of reaction efficiency and selectivity.

Oxidation of cyclohexene and α-pinene with an O2-H 2 mixture in the catalytic systems containing Pt or Pd and heteropoly compounds (HPC) was studied. The main oxidation products are epoxides, allyl alcohols, and ketones. The highest yield of the oxidation products was obtained in the presence of the platinum catalyst in combination with HPC PW11 or PW11Fe. The reaction mechanism was proposed. A relationship between the HPC composition and the nature of intermediates involved in oxidation was examined.

The pinanes are preferably attacked at the tertiary C-H bond in 2-position, but products of the oxidative attack at the secondary C-H-bonds in 3- and 4-position are also found.At 100 deg C cis-pinane is attacked more easily than trans-pinane (kcis : ktrans = 6.4), the relative rates of attack at the secondary C-H bonds in positions 3 and 4 with respect to the tertiary C-H bond in 2-position were also determined (in cis-pinane ksec : ktert = 0.027; in trans-pinane ksec : ktert = 0.20).After the attack at the 2-C-H bond the radical formed can either react with oxygen to form the corresponding cis- and trans-peroxy radicals and further to give cis- and trans-2-hydroperoxy pinane or fragmentate to the monocyclic radical derived from α-terpinene, giving as a final products α-terpinene hydroperoxide and the bicyclic 8-hydroperoxy 4,4,8-trimethyl 2,3-dioxabicyclononane.The corresponding alcohols were found after reduction with sodium sulphite.The oxidation at position 2 of the pinanes delivers not only the cis- and trans-hydroperoxide but also, as short-lived intermediates, the corresponding 2-pinanyloxy radicals.These radicals fragmentate forming a carbon radical with cyclobutane structure whose oxidation products were identified.Besides fragmentation of the 2-pinanyloxy radical also an intramolecular H-transfer from the methyl group in 9-position to the oxygen of the trans-pinanyloxy radical takes place leading to 9-hydroperoxy trans-pinane-2-ol.
