A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

The targeted synthesis of an efficient, visible light active, recyclable, freestanding covalent organic framework thin film photocatalyst for multi-faceted photocatalysis is the essence of the proposed work. A simple, scalable, reagent free synthesis of a thin film at the interface of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin, 2-vinylbenzene-1,4-dicarbaldehyde in nitrobenzene and aqueous glyoxal affords centimetre sized continuous 2D thin film with substantial stability, flexibility and efficient visible light activity. Strikingly different from the regular imine based COF, the incorporation of the glyoxal unit as a modulator helps in band gap tuning and induces flexibility within the thin film. An interplay between time and concentration helps in achieving a thin film photocatalyst with efficient photocatalytic activity for 1,4-NADH regeneration and selective formic acid formation from CO2. The optimum band edge position of the thin film photocatalyst also enables solar fine chemical synthesisviareductive dehalogenation under visible light illumination with excellent recyclability. The present work gives insight into visible light active thin film formation en route to metal-free sustainable photocatalysis.
