Provided is a process for converting a hydrocarbon comprising at least one C—H bond to a nitrogen-functionalized product. The process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon and (i) an oxidizing electrophile comprising (a) a main group element or transition metal in oxidized form and (b) at least one nitrogen-containing ligand, or (ii) an oxidant and a reduced form of an oxidizing electrophile comprising (a) a main group element or transition metal and (b) at least one nitrogen-containing ligand, in a solvent to provide the nitrogen-functionalized product and an electrophile reduction product. Further provided is an oxidizing composition comprising the oxidizing electrophile with at least one nitrogen-containing ligand and a non-oxidizable liquid.
