Abstract
We report herein a simple and efficient light-induced aerobic oxidation of organoboron compounds to obtain phenols in an air atmosphere at room temperature, without the use of any photocatalyst, oxidant or other reagent. This protocol utilizes inexpensive and commercially available 1,3-dioxolane as both the solvent and electron donor to activate the molecular oxygen in the air under 365 nm light, enabling the aerobic oxidation to occur under mild reaction conditions. A wide range of sensitive functional groups are well tolerated, resulting in the corresponding phenols in moderate to good yields.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
