A new synthetic approach toward difunctionalization of alkenes has been developed under metal-free conditions. Various carboxylic acids and amines could react smoothly with alkenes to give dioxygenation and oxyamidation products, respectively. This organocatalytic process delivers 2-hydroxy alcohols directly from simple alkenes with high levels of region control.
