Utilization of Natural Sunlight and Air in the Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Halides
摘要:
A novel, efficient oxidation of alpha-aryl halogen derivatives to the corresponding alpha-aryl carbonyl compounds at room temperature has been disclosed. Natural sunlight and air are successfully utilized in this approach through the combination of photocatalysis and organocatalysis. A plausible mechanism was proposed on the basis of the mechanistic studies.
available Cp*Mo(II)-complexes as efficient deoxygenation catalysts that could catalyze the direct intermolecular deoxygenative coupling of carbonylcompounds with alkynes. Enabled by this powerful Cp*Mo(II)-catalyst, various valuable heteroarenes (10 different classes) were obtained in generally good yields and remarkable chemo- and regioselectivities. Mechanistic studies suggested that this reaction might
