Thiol-initiated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of the CC bond in olefins and its extension to direct production of acetals from olefins
Xinglin Wang, Yuanyuan Li, Zhaohui Li
Abstract
Oxidative cleavage of a broad scope of olefins is realized over ZnIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> under visible light, using air as oxidant and thiol as initiator. Coupled with the condensation between aldehydes/ketones and alcohols, this strategy can be used to yield acetals directly from olefins.
