BackgroundFrom an industries and academic perspective, there is a need for a method for producing 3-nitro-4-aryl-2H-chromen-2-ones from aryl alkynoate esters that is both economic and environmental benign. In this context, superoxide ion-assisted radical cascade reaction can be an efficient and greener protocol.ObjectiveHerein, we have demonstrated an unprecedented methylene blue (MB) visible light photocatalys Read More

BackgroundPhotocatalysis is of particular importance in the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes to increase the conversion of benzyl alcohol oxidation to benzaldehyde at high selectivity, which could be useful for the pharmaceutical and perfumery industries.ObjectiveThe oxidation of benzyl alcohol over P25 was investigated in various solvents (water, benzotrifluoride, toluene and acetonitrile).MethodsThe reaction was Read More
