The use of copper for C-H bond functionalization, compared to other metals, is relatively unexplored. Herein, we report a synthetic protocol for the regioselective hydroxylation of sp<sup>2</sup> and sp<sup>3</sup> C-H bonds using a directing group, stoichiometric amounts of Cu and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. A wide array of aromatic ketones and aldehydes are oxidized in the carbonyl γ-position with remarkable yields. We also expanded this methodology to hydroxylate the β-position of alkylic ket ...[more]
