24. In fact, it was reported that the presence of Co(II) catalysts in the NHPI-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alkanes can reduce the induction period and, therefore, enhancing the subsequent radical propagation steps: Ishii, Y.; Iwahama, T.; Sakaguchi, S.; Nakayama, K.; Nishiyama, Y. J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 4520.
25. Recently, the Cu-catalyzed amidation of benzylic and allylic C-H bonds was reported, suggesting a stepwise pathway via an acetate intermediate: Pelletier, G.; Powell, D. A. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 6031.
