Introduction
Platinum-catalyzed C--H functionalization
Selective oxidation of alkanes has been an important goal for decades. This challenging reaction continues to attract widespread attention as fossil fuels are consumed and the price of energy soars (1). Even as fossil fuel supplies are depleted, alkanes from petroleum, particularly natural gas, remain abundant (1--4). Alkanes have high C--C and C--H bond strengths and are relatively inert (3, 5, 6). Dehydrogenation of alkanes can be accomplished thermally, but only at high temperatures (5). Radical oxidation reactions are capable of alkane functionalization, but they are not regioselective; ...
