developed a visible-light driven oxo-acyloxylation of aryl alkenes with carboxylic acids and molecular oxygen. A metal-free photoredox system, consisting of an acridinium photocatalyst, an organic base, and molecular sieve (MS) 4 Å, promotes chemoselective aerobic photooxidation of aryl alkenes. This approach may provide a green, practical, and metal-free protocol for a wide range of α-acyloxy ketones.
Herein, a copper/TBHP catalyst system for the α-C–H acyloxylation of carbonyl compounds is developed using terminal alkynes as the acyloxy source. A variety of carbonyl compounds and terminal alkynes are tolerated in this reaction. In addition, its possible mechanism is proposed.

A metal-free strategy has been developed for α-benzoxylation of benzylic alcohols with acids or aldehydes. The reaction proceeds via sequential oxidation and α-benzoxylation in one pot. Importantly, the reactions are performed in metal-free condition and utilize cheap aqueous TBHP as an oxidant, affording α-benzoxy ketones in moderate to good yields.
