Abstract

The present invention provides a direct oxidation method for saturated hydrocarbon bonds in an organic compound. The method allows an organic compound with a saturated hydrocarbon bond to react with an oxidizing reagent in the presence of cerium complex under visible light irradiation, thus oxidizing the saturated hydrocarbon bond to afford an oxidation product. The present reaction only needs to be carried out at room temperature, while the reaction efficiency remains high. In addition, only visible light is required to provide the energy for activation, rendering the present strategy is a milder and greener reaction method. The cerium catalyst used in the method is low in cost, simple and efficient, while the oxidizing reagent used is also stable in nature and low in industrial cost, rendering the catalytic system highly practical. Furthermore, environmental pollution caused by heavy transition metals and peroxides can be avoided in such strategy.

Description

    BACKGROUND Technical Field
  • The present invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and in particular, to a direct oxidation method for saturated hydrocarbon bonds in an organic compound, which is induced by visible light and efficiently catalyzed by a cerium complex.
    • Description of Related Art
  • Direct oxidation of hydrocarbon bonds in organic compounds has attracted increasing attention in the field of catalysis. The synthetic strategy is capable of directly converting widely existing hydrocarbon bonds into diverse functional groups (hydroxyl, carbonyl, amine, etc.). With inexpensive starting materials and significantly shortened synthetic routes, the synthetic strategy would be a promising choice for value-added drug molecules or intermediates thereof, and thus has broad application prospects in pharmaceutical industry. However, the high energy of such hydrocarbon bonds renders its activity relatively low. Existing processes typically require expensive transition metal catalysts, with the presence of less stable peroxides and frequently higher temperatures and pressures. Therefore, there has been a growing interest in designing efficient oxidation method for hydrocarbon bonds using only inexpensive catalysts and reagents under mild and green conditions. Visible-light-induced photoredox catalysis utilizes the energy of visible light to activate a photocatalyst, and thereby promotes organic reactions. Compared with the traditional catalysis, visible light catalysis requires only clean light energy, low catalyst dosage and mild reaction conditions, and it is expected to develop a more efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis method. Thus, it remains an imperative challenge to apply visible light catalysis to efficient oxidation reactions of saturated hydrocarbon bonds, aiming at developing a more economical and environmentally friendly photocatalytic strategy for industrial applications.
