We report the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds and substituted alkenes (Mizoroki–Heck type coupling) starting from secondary and tertiary alkyl halides and vinyl acetate or styrene derivatives using visible-light photocatalysis.
A hydroxyl radical-mediated aerobic cleavage of alkenes and further sequence esterification reaction for the preparation of carbonyl compounds has been developed by using tubular carbon nitride (TCN) as a general...
