A range of styrenes and benzaldehydes were smoothly combined to form α,β-epoxy ketones under the synergistic actions of photocatalyst Ru(bpy)3Cl2, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), and visible light irradiation. The process likely proceeds through visible-light-enabled photocatalytic generations of acyl radicals as key intermediates.

A three-component reaction of alkenes, aldehydes, and hydroperoxides catalyzed by FeCl2 to β-peroxy ketones has been achieved. This three-component reaction can be also applied to the synthesis of α-carbonyl epoxides, through either a stepwise base-induced epoxidation of the separated β-peroxy ketone products or a one-pot process by simply adding base to the reaction mixture after the completion of the three-component reaction.
