Selective Photooxidation Reactions using Water-Soluble Anthraquinone Photocatalysts

Selective Photooxidation Reactions using Water-Soluble Anthraquinone Photocatalysts
Frank Hollmann, Wuyuan Zhang, Isabel W. C. E. Arends, Jenő Gacs
The aerobic organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols was achieved by using water-soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate. Under visible-light activation, this catalyst mediated the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The photo-oxyfunctionalization of alkanes was also possible under these conditions. A bit of SAS: Water-soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate is used as an organo-photocatalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alkanes and alcohols. Preliminary experiments suggest that this reaction can be extended to amines and other functionalities.
