Abstract
This study proposes two different methods of photocatalytic-controlled and visible light-induced selective oxidation of pyridiniums with air as the terminal oxidant. The key to these transformations is to choose the appropriate light source and photocatalyst. Pyridiniums are successfully converted into pyrroles through oxygen-mediated cycloaddition, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), pyridine ring opening, and recyclization. The other route is that pyridiniums selectively form 4-carbonyl pyridines through free radical rearrangement/aerobic oxidation under the catalysis of cobalt (II).
