A highly efficient benzylic hydroperoxidation has been realized through a visible-light-induced Csp3-H activation. We believe that this reaction undergoes a direct HAT mechanism catalyzed by eosin Y. This approach features the use of a metal-free catalyst (eosin Y), an energy-economical light source (blue LED), and a sustainable oxidant (molecular oxygen). Primary, secondary, and tertiary hydroperoxides as well as silyl, benzyl, and acyl peroxides were successfully prepared with good yields and excellent functional group compatibility.

A new class of dirhodium(II) tetraamidinates derived from 2-(sulfonylimino)pyrrolidines has been prepared through ligand substitution by using dirhodium(II) acetate, in which (3,1) geometric isomers are formed predominantly. Among these complexes, (3,1)-Rh2(Msip)4, exhibits good catalytic performance in benzylic oxidation. In the presence of (3,1)-Rh2(Msip)4 a variety of benzylic derivatives, including strongly electron-deficient arylalkanes such as 1-ethyl-4- nitrobenzene, are readily oxidized in water by the inexpensive oxidant T-HYDRO (70 wt.-% aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide).

The photo-retro-aldol type reactions of several nitroaromatic compounds have been studied in aqueous solution over the pH 1-14 range.These reactions are observed only in aqueous or in predominantly aqueous solution.Catalysis of reaction due to hydroxide ion is observed for several derivatives.Quantum yields of reaction and product ratios (of nitrotoluene vs dinitrobibenzyl) are reported as a function of pH.The proposed mechanism of reaction involves heterolytic cleavage of the benzylic C-C bond from the triplet excited state in the primary photochemical step to generate a nitrobenzyl carbanion and a carbocation-equivalent fragment, except for the nitrophenylacetates 24-26, which eliminate CO2 in place of such a fragment.Photogenerated nitrobenzyl carbanions are efficiently trapped by molecular oxygen to give isolable hydroperoxides at pH 9 M-1 s-1.The results show that photochemical C-C bond heterolysis requires favorable stabilization of both the carbanion and carbocation-derived fragments.Hydroxide ion catalysis may also facilitate the process.The use of the nitrobenzyl moiety as the carbanion-stabilizing group appears to be generally applicable, as demonstrated by the systems studied.
