The activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds by transition metals that leads to the selective functionalization of hydrocarbons, especially alkanes, is one of the most challenging problems in organometallic chemistry. Herein, the authors report on the palladium(II)-mediated oxidation of arenes and alkanes through a nonradical, electrophilic C-H activation pathway.
