Oxidative transformations of olefins employing persulfate/visible light irradiation in water

Abstract

We present a green and economical approach for the photooxidation of diverse olefins through the use of ammonium persulfate and blue light irradiation, resulting in the formation of vicinal diols...

Metal-free synthesis of propargylamines via light-mediated persulfate activation and phase-transfer catalysis

“…2 This pivotal finding has subsequently sparked a plethora of investigations delving into the utilization of visible light to activate persulfates. 3 Notably, persulfate salts exhibit attractive characteristics as cost-effective crystalline solids, stability, non-hygroscopicity, water solubility, and environmentally benign oxidizing attributes, aligning harmoniously with the guiding principles of green chemistry, aimed at reducing the utilization of toxic substances.…”
