Synthesis of a,b-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds via a Visible-Light -Promoted Organocatalytic Aerobic Oxidation

by Zhen Yang, Junling Zhang, Leming Wang, Qi Liu, Yong Huang*



a,b-Unsaturated ketones and aldehydes have been synthesized from the corresponding silyl enol ethers in a straightforward protocol involving a visible-light promoted organocatalytic, aerobic oxidation reaction. A cheap organic dye was used in catalytically in the reaction as the photosensitizer.
