An efficient oxidant named 2,2′-diperoxyphenic acid was newly developed, and it exhibited high stability as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) coupled with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). On applying this reagent in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, the reaction featured a markedly broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, giving rise to the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Particularly, in the case of pure water or 1× Phosphate Buffered Saline (1× PBS) serving as the solvent, the protocol could work well, resulting in yields ranging from 81% to 98%. Moreover, the catalytic asymmetric version of the BV reaction was explored as well, affording the corresponding products in good yields and medium ee. Remarkably, the corresponding biological compatibility and greenness assessment indicated that this reagent had favorable application prospects in the biomedical and green manufacturing fields. Meanwhile, mechanistic studies including 18O isotope effect experiments and DFT computations suggested that this reaction followed the generally accepted mechanism of BV oxidation.

Synthesis of valuable chemicals from lignin based compounds is critical for the application of biomass. Here, we develop a method of preparing aryl acetates by the carbonylation of aryl methyl ethers or phenols under low CO pressure. Good to excellent yields of aryl acetates were obtained using different substrates, and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed by conducting a series of control experiments. This method may provide a potential way for the utilization of lignin.

The Vilsmeier reagent (VR), first reported a century ago, is a versatile reagent in a variety of organic reactions. It is used extensively in formylation reactions. However, the synthesis of VR generally requires highly toxic and corrosive reagents such as POCl3, SOCl2, or COCl2. In this study, we found that VR is readily obtained from a CHCl3 solution containing N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide upon photo-irradiation under O2 bubbling. The corresponding Vilsmeier reagents were obtained in high yields with the generation of gaseous HCl and CO2 as byproducts to allow their isolations as crystalline solid products amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography. With the advantage of using CHCl3, which bifunctionally serves as a reactant and a solvent, this photo-on-demand VR synthesis is available for one-pot syntheses of aldehydes, acid chlorides, formates, ketones, esters, and amides.
