Electrochemical Acylation of Some Cyclic Olefins by Using Aluminium Anode

The electrochemical acylation of cyclohexene, cycloheptene and their 1-methyl derivatives produces alkyl-cycloalkenyl ketones in good yields.The unsubstituted cycloalkenes give α,β-unsaturated ketones, whereas the 1-substituted derivatives yield mixtures of α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated ketones in which the latter products are predominant.

α-ELIMINATION OF ORGANIC HALIDES FROM ORGANOTELLURIUM(IV) HALIDES

Three types of α-elimination (oxidative, photolytic, and thermal) of organotellurium(IV) halides to give organic halides have been disclosed.Treatment of organotellurium(IV) halides with some oxidants, preferably t-butyl hydroperoxide in 1,4-dioxane, acet

Highly selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H with NaX under co-catalysis of visible light and Ag@AgX

The direct selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds into C-halogen bonds was achieved using a nano Ag/AgCl catalyst at RT under visible light or LED irradiation in the presence of an aqueous solution of NaX/HX as a halide source, in air. The halogenation of hydrocarbons provided mono-halide substituted products with 95% selectivity and yields higher than 90%, with the chlorination of toluene being 81%, far higher than the 40% conversion using dichlorine. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the reaction is a free radical process using blue light (450-500 nm), with visible light being the most effective light source. Irradiation is proposed to cause AgCl bonding electrons to become excited and electron transfer from chloride ions induces chlorine radical formation which drives the substitution reaction. The reaction provides a potentially valuable method for the direct chlorination of saturated hydrocarbons.

Photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexene with water sensitized by aluminium(III) porphyrins with visible light

Aluminium(III)-tetramesitylporphyrin, with the Earth's the most abundant metal and the third most abundant element as the Al(III) ion, induces the photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexene in deaerated aqueous acetonitrile to form the corresponding epoxide and alcohol with water as both electron and oxygen atom donor upon visible light irradiation. The Al(III) should be the most available and meaningful element to be utilized in the artificial photosynthetic unit. The excited triplet state of the water-coordinated porphyrin is responsible for the photochemical oxygenation.
