Key Points

  • The main aim is to explore the molecular mechanism involved in the oxidative cleavage of alkenes mediated by photoexcited nitroarenes.
  • Investigation of the quenching events leading to product formation and loss channels.
  • Identification of a triplet biradical intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
  • Only ∼10% of quenching events lead to the formation of products.
  • Loss channel allows decay of the intermediate back to starting materials.

Abstract

by the alkene. A new species is formed, which we assign to a triplet biradical intermediate. Only ∼10% of the quenching events result in product formation. The additional loss channel is assigned to the decay of the intermediate to the starting materials. The elimination of this loss channel could significantly improve the efficiency of this reaction.
