Abstract: M06 density functional theory calculations reveal that arene C–H functionalization by the p-block main-group-metal complex TlIII(TFA)3 (TFA = trifluoroacetate) occurs by a C–H activation mechanism akin to transition-metal-mediated C–H activation. For benzene, toluene, and xylenes… read more here.

Abstract: We report carbon-hydrogen acetoxylation of nondirected arenes benzene and toluene, as well as related functionalization with pivalate and 2-ethylhexanoate ester groups, using simple copper(II) [Cu(II)] salts with over 80% yield. By changing the ratio of… read more here.
