Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes Using Water-Soluble CdSe Quantum Dots

The oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds is an important chemical reaction, which is a popular reaction in the photocatalytic field. However, high catalyst-loading and low turnover number (TON) are general shortcomings in reported visible-light-driven reactions. Herein, the direct oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds through water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is described under visible-light irradiation at room temperature with high TON (up to 3.7×104). Under the same conditions, water-soluble CdSe QDs could also oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides with 51–84 % yields and TONs up to 3.4×104. The key features of this photocatalytic protocol include high TONs, wide substrates scope, low catalyst loadings, simple and mild reaction conditions, and molecular O2 as the oxidant.

A novel catalytic system poly(1-vinyl-3-dodecylimidazolium tribromide)/TBN for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with air as oxidant

A novel and recoverable polymeric ionic liquid, poly(1-vinyl-3-dodecylimidazolium tribromide) (Poly[VDIM]Br3), was successfully prepared and fully characterized. And a highly efficient metal-free catalytic system Poly[VDIM]Br3/tert-butyl nitrite was developed for the oxidation of sulfides. With air as oxidant, we have successfully achieved 19 kinds of sulfides selectively and efficiently oxidized to corresponding sulfoxides using this catalytic system at room temperature.
