Clean Ar-Me conversion to Ar-aldehyde with the aid of carefully designed metallocor role photocatalysts

Toluene, p -xylene and mesitylene were cleanly converted to their corresponding monoaldehydes via mild photooxygenation utiliz-ing transition metal and main group β-CF 3 -substituted corroles. Aldehyde yield increased as more electron-donating CH 3 groups are present on the substrate. 4-P was most e...

Description
Summary:Toluene, p -xylene and mesitylene were cleanly converted to their corresponding monoaldehydes via mild photooxygenation utiliz-ing transition metal and main group β-CF 3 -substituted corroles. Aldehyde yield increased as more electron-donating CH 3 groups are present on the substrate. 4-P was most efficient (TON ~ 1072, mesitylene) via the singlet oxygen vis the superoxide mechanism.
