(Diacetoxyiodo)benzene‐Mediated Oxygenation of Benzylic C(sp3)–H Bonds with N‐Hydroxyamides at Room Temperature

A new, metal-free method for the formation of C(sp3)–O bonds was established by PhI(OAc)2-mediated oxygenation of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with N-hydroxyamides at room temperature, in which the C(sp3)–H oxidation is activated by a polyflurophenylamide group.
