Abstract
Oxidation is a significant chemical process that occurs in both natural environments and the chemical industry, resulting in the production of oxygenated compounds. Presently, conventional reactions commonly occur in deleterious organic solvents, which are not only wasteful but also widely considered to be environmentally unfriendly. Here, a practical, self-photocatalyzed oxidation method for alkylarenes to carbonyls was developed with water as the oxygen donor. Through MS analysis of the products derived from the reaction with 18O-labeled water, we confirmed that the oxygen atoms in the products originate from water. This reaction offers an optimal method for synthesizing valuable fine chemicals from alkylarenes to carbonyls. In addition, the system could be further applied in the synthesis of photosensitizers and medicines and the selective degradation of polystyrene, offering an important and practical tool to generate high-value chemicals.
氧化是一种重要的化学过程,在自然环境和化学工业中都会发生,从而产生含氧化合物。目前,传统反应通常在有害的有机溶剂中进行,不仅造成浪费,而且被普遍认为不环保。在此,我们开发了一种实用的、以水为供氧体的烷基烯烃到羰基的自光催化氧化方法。通过对反应产物与 18O 标记水的 MS 分析,我们证实产物中的氧原子来自于水。该反应为从烷基烯烃到羰基合成有价值的精细化学品提供了一种最佳方法。此外,该系统还可进一步应用于光敏剂和药物的合成以及聚苯乙烯的选择性降解,为生成高价值化学品提供了一种重要而实用的工具。
