Selective Photooxidation Reactions using Water‐Soluble Anthraquinone Photocatalysts

The aerobic organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols was achieved by using water‐soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate. Under visible‐light activation, this catalyst mediated the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The photo‐oxyfunctionalization of alkanes was also possible under t...

More Information
Summary:The aerobic organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols was achieved by using water‐soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate. Under visible‐light activation, this catalyst mediated the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The photo‐oxyfunctionalization of alkanes was also possible under these conditions. A bit of SAS: Water‐soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate is used as an organo‐photocatalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alkanes and alcohols. Preliminary experiments suggest that this reaction can be extended to amines and other functionalities.
