From aniline to phenol: carbon-nitrogen bond activation via uranyl photoredox catalysis

Deqing Hu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the efficient conversion of various anilines to phenols through uranyl photoredox catalysis with water. The protonated anilines undergo a single-electron transfer process with the uranyl catalyst, facilitating the oxygen atom transfer between the radical cation of protonated anilines and uranyl peroxide. Oxygen is sourced from water, while the amino groups are transformed into ammonium salts. The flow operation shows 100-fold efficiency, indicating the potential for industrial synthetic applications.

Photoinduced Oxygen Transfer Using Nitroarenes for the Anaerobic Cleavage of Alkenes

Dan E. Wise et al.

Summary: We report a new method for anaerobic cleavage of alkenes into carbonyl compounds using nitroarenes as oxygen transfer reagents under visible light. This approach is a safe and practical alternative to traditional oxidative cleavage methods. Mechanistic studies show that the transformation occurs through direct photoexcitation of the nitroarene followed by nonstereospecific radical cycloaddition with alkenes. Various alkenes with oxidatively sensitive functionalities can be efficiently and selectively cleaved anaerobically to generate carbonyl derivatives.

Photoexcited nitroarenes for the oxidative cleavage of alkenes

Alessandro Ruffoni et al.

Summary: This study presents an alternative method for oxidative cleavage of alkenes using nitroarenes and purple-light irradiation. Photoexcited nitroarenes can effectively substitute ozone for facile radical [3+2] cycloaddition with alkenes, resulting in safe-handling 'N-doped' ozonides that lead to carbonyl products under mild hydrolytic conditions. This method allows controlled cleavage of alkenes in the presence of commonly used organic functionalities, and achieves site selectivity in substrates containing multiple alkenes by harnessing the diversity of nitroarenes.
