Experimental study demonstrates efficient visible-light photooxygenation of cyclohexane using an acridinium photocatalyst and hydrogen chloride, suggesting a sustainable metal-free oxidation route.
Photooxygenation of cyclohexane by O(2) occurs efficiently under visible-light irradiation of an O(2)-saturated acetonitrile solution containing 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ions (Acr(+)-Mes) and HCl to yield cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and hydrogen peroxide. The photocatalytic reaction is initiated by electron transfer from Cl(-) to the mesitylene radical cation moiety.
