A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

A practical and general iron-catalyzed domino decarboxylation-oxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids enabling aldehyde C-H methylation for the synthesis of methyl ketones has been developed. This mild, operationally simple method uses ambient air as the sole oxidant and tolerates sensitive functional groups for the late-stage functionalization of complex natural-product-derived and polyfunctionalized molecules.
