G-C3N4 catalysed sustainable synthesis of (hetero)aryl acids and regioselective α-bromo ketones in one pot under visible light catalysis

Abstract

Visible light-induced graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalysed direct oxidation of (hetero)aryl methyl halides to (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids using O2 as a green oxidant and subsequent formation of α-bromo ketones in one vessel.
