The first examples of catalysis of aliphatic C-H hydroxylation by an iminium salt are presented. The method allows the selective organocatalytic hydroxylation of unactivated 3 degrees C-H bonds at room temperature using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. Hydroxylation of an unactivated 2 degrees C-H bond is also demonstrated. Furthermore, improved functional group compatibility over other catalytic methods is reported in the form of selectivity for aliphatic C-H hydroxylation over alcohol oxidation. On the basis of initial mechanistic studies, an oxaziridinium species is proposed as the active oxidant.
