Functionalization of hydrocarbons and C-H bond activation via an allyl transfer reaction using various allyl-PINO substrates (X = PINO) (Figure 1), has been previously studied. We recently discovered that the allyl-phthalimido-N-oxyl (PINO�) substrates are successful for the ether functionalization as well, and provides a suitable method to activate C-H bonds of ethers. The chemistry is also successful using low conc. of ether in solution. Synthesis of photolabile precursors for Laser flash photolysis studies to determine the rate constant of the allyl transfer reaction is in progress. Use of allyl-phthalimido-N-oxyl (PINO) compounds for the functionalization of various amines  and optimization of the reaction for milder reaction condition will be discussed.
