Partial oxidation of light alkanes to generate alkyl esters has been achieved under photochemical conditions using mixtures of iodine oxides and chloride salts in trifluoroacetic acid (HTFA). The reactions are catalytic in chloride and are successful using compact fluorescent light, but higher yields are obtained using a mercury lamp. In this photo-initiated oxyesterification process, the robust alkyl ester products are resistant to over-oxidation, and under optimized conditions yields for alkyl ester production of similar to 50 % based on methane, similar to 60 % based on ethane (with a total functionalized yield of EtX (X=TFA or Cl) of 80 %) and similar to 30 % based on propane have been demonstrated. The reaction also proceeds in aqueous HTFA and dichloroacetic acid with lower yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the process likely operates by a chlorine hydrogen atom abstraction pathway wherein alkyl radicals are generated, trapped by iodine, and converted to alkyl trifluoroacetates in situ.
