Abstract
This work discloses a simple, efficient, and environmentally benevolent disulfide-catalyzed photocatalytic regioselective oxidative cleavage of 1-arylbutadienes to cinnamaldehydes. This methodology illustrates mild reaction conditions, ambient temperature, excellent regioselectivity, and compatibility with wide range of functional groups (38 examples). The method gains significance, as few reports with limited substrate scope are available for such excellent photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of conjugated dienes.
