Conquering the Carbon-Hydrogen Bond

The conversion of natural alkanes and aromatics into chemical intermediates is an important aspect of industrial-scale chemical synthesis. But as
 Jones
 explains in this Perspective, the controlled conversion of hydrocarbons into the desired intermediates remains a challenge. He discusses two papers,
 Jiaet al. and
 Chenet al., which report important advances in the catalytic conversion of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons into useful, reactive products.
