Abstract
A new protocol for C–S and C–Se bond formation by the direct functionalization of the C(sp3)–H bond of alkanes under metal-free conditions was developed. Using tBuOOtBu as the oxidant, the reaction of disulfides or diselenides with alkanes gave sulfides or selenides in moderate to good yields. The method was very simple and atom-economical.
