A highly efficient o‐ phenanthroline‐mediated, metal‐free catalytic system has been developed for oxidation of hydrocarbons with dioxygen in the presence of N ‐hydroxyphthalimide; various hydrocarbons were efficiently and high selectively oxidized, e.g., ethylbenzene to acetophenone in 97% selectivity and 76% conversion, under mild conditions.
