- Visible Light-Induced Oxidative Chlorination of Alkyl sp3 C-H Bonds with NaCl/Oxone at Room Temperature
-
A visible light-induced monochlorination of cyclohexane with sodium chloride (5:1) has been successfully accomplished to afford chlorocyclohexane in excellent yield by using Oxone as the oxidant in H2O/CF3CH2OH at room temperature. Other secondary and primary alkyl sp3 C-H bonds of cycloalkanes and functional branch/linear alkanes can also be chlorinated, respectively, under similar conditions. The selection of a suitable organic solvent is crucial in these efficient radical chlorinations of alkanes in two-phase solutions. It is studied further by the achievement of high chemoselectivity in the chlorination of the benzyl sp3 C-H bond or the aryl sp2 C-H bond of toluene.

- Electrooxidative coupling of salts of nitro compounds with halide, nitrite, cyanide, and phenylsulfinate anions
-
Electrolysis of salts of primary and secondary nitro compounds (nitroethane, 1- and 2-nitropropanes, nitrocyclohexane, and nitrocycloheptane) in the presence of excess halide, nitrite, cyanide, and phenylsulfinate anions under undivided and divided amperostatic electrolysis conditions in a two-phase medium (CH2Cl2/H2O) produces geminal nitrohalides (35-85% yields), dinitro compounds (15-51%), nitronitriles (6-27%), and nitrosulfones (50-70%). The salts of secondary nitro compounds form the products of oxidative coupling with halide and phenylsulfinate anions under the undivided electrolysis conditions. In all other cases, divided electrolysis is required.
