7,8-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1a) was found to be a superior photooxidation catalyst among substituted ethylene-bridged flavinium salts (R=7,8-diMeO, 7,8-OCH2O-, 7,8-diMe, H, 7,8-diCl, 7-CF3 and 8-CF3). Selection was carried out based on structure vs catalytic activity and properties relationship investigations. Flavinium salt 1a proved to be robust enough for practical applications in benzylic oxidations/oxygenations, which was demonstrated using a series of substrates with high oxidation potential, i. e., 1-phenylethanol, ethylbenzene, diphenylmethane and diphenylmethanol derivatives substituted with electron-withdrawing groups (Cl or CF3). The unique capabilities of 1a can be attributed to its high photostability and participation via a relatively long-lived singlet excited state, which was confirmed using spectroscopic studies, electrochemical measurements and TD-DFT calculations. This allows the maximum use of the oxidation power of 1a, which is given by its singlet excited state reduction potential of +2.4 V. 7,8-Dichloro-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1 h) can be used as an alternative photocatalyst for even more difficult substrates.

In this study, 2,3-dicyanopyrazino phenanthrene (DCPP), a commodity chemical that can be prepared at an industrial scale, was used as a photocatalyst in lieu of Ru or Ir complexes in C-X (X = C, N, and O) bond-forming reactions under visible-light irradiation. In these reactions, [DCPP]n aggregates were formed in situ through physical π-πstacking of DCPP monomers in organic solvents. These aggregates exhibited excellent photo- and electrochemical properties, including a visible light response (430 nm), long excited-state lifetime (19.3 μs), high excited-state reduction potential (Ered([DCPP]n*/[DCPP]n·-) = +2.10 V vs SCE), and good reduction stability. The applications of [DCPP]n aggregates as a versatile visible-light photocatalyst were demonstrated in decarboxylative C-C cross-coupling, amidation, and esterification reactions.

A simple, and practical oxidative scission of aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds using O2as the sole oxidant with poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether as a benign solvent has been developed. A wide range of monosubstituted,gem-disubstituted, 1,2-disubstituted, trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted aromatic olefins was successfully converted into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields even with gram-scale reaction. Some control experiments were also conducted to support a possible reaction pathway.
