Abstract: Examples of the activation of saturated hydrocarbons and dioxygen as well as oxidative functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons involving the C–H and C–C bonds in the presence of metal complexes in protic media are considered. The mechanisms of processes are analyzed. Attention is focused on the transformations of methane and C₂–C₄ hydrocarbons as the natural and associated gas components.
