Photolysis of hexanoyl azide in cyclohexane gave 6-methyl-2-piperidone (13%), 5-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (8%), and N-cyclohexylhexanamide (3%). In contrast, photosensitized decomposition of the azide with acetophenone gave hexanamide (78%), cyclohexene (11%), and dicyclohexyl (11%), but no lactams. It is concluded that the direct photolysis gives singlet acyl nitrene as the reactive species, which yields the δ-lactam preferentially. The importance of proximity in determining the γ- to δ-lactam ratio is emphasized.

The synthesis of novel l-prolinal dithioacetal and its application as an organocatalyst for the direct Michael addition of cyclic ketones and acetophenone derivatives to trans-β-nitrostyrene and related compounds is described. The prolinal dithioacetal acts as effective catalyst in the case of cyclic ketones of different ring size, in particular five- and six-membered examples, as well as larger and smaller ring systems. High enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity is observed for different substrates and trans-β-nitrostyrenes. Also, the first asymmetric syntheses of selected 2-methyl-4-nitro-1,3-diphenylbutan-1-one derivatives by application of the obtained organocatalyst is presented.

Microplastics (MPs) are distributed in a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems throughout the planet. They are known to adsorb hazardous substances and can transfer them across the trophic web. To eliminate MPs pollution in an environmentally friendly process, we propose using a photocatalytic process that can easily be implemented in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). As photocatalysis involves the formation of reactive species such as holes (h+), electrons (e−), hydroxyl (OH●), and superoxide ion (O2●−) radicals, it is imperative to determine the role of those species in the degradation process to design an effective photocatalytic system. However, for MPs, this information is limited in the literature. Therefore, we present such reactive species’ role in the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) MPs using C,N-TiO2. Tert-butanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), Tiron, and Cu(NO3)2 were confirmed as adequate OH●, h+, O2●− and e− scavengers. These results revealed for the first time that the formation of free OH● through the pathways involving the photogenerated e− plays an essential role in the MPs’ degradation. Furthermore, the degradation behaviors observed when h+ and O2●− were removed from the reaction system suggest that these species can also perform the initiating step of degradation.
