The cobaloxime catalyst enables dehydrogenation to generate the formation of new olefins. The generality, good substrate scope and mild conditions are good features in the photoredox/cobaloxime catalysis protocol, and this method will provide new opportunities for the functionalization of more olefins.
A photocatalytic strategy for the controllable aroylation or diaroylation of allyl sulfones was established using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalyst and aldehydes as radical precursors. By adjusting the substrate ratio, the selectivity of the reaction could be readily tuned and various aroyl groups were installed on allyl sulfones, which furnished
