title: Copper-promoted site-selective acyloxylation of unactivated C(sp³)-H bonds.
abstract: The site-selective acyloxylation of aliphatic amides was achieved via a copper-promoted C(sp(3))-H bond functionalization process directed by a bidentate ligand. The reaction showed a great preference for activating C-H bonds of β-methyl groups over those of γ-methyl and unactivated methylene groups.
