A mild and green photochemical protocol for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones was developed.


Radical scavenging by nitrone and nitroso compounds, used in conjunction with e. s. r. spectroscopy, has demonstrated that alkoxy radicals are important intermediates during the thermal and photochemical oxidation of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols: R 1 R 2 CHOH+X(ox) → R 1 R 2 CHȮH + + X(red) R 1 R 2 CHȮH + +R 1 R 2 CHOH → R 1 R 2 CHO. + R 1 R 2 CHOH + 2 R 1 R 2 CHO. + PhCH ═ NBu t → R 1 R 2 CHO─CHPh─.O─NBu t ─R 1 R 2 CHoH→R 1 R 2 C─OH + Bu t N ═ O → R 1 R 2 C─N─Bu t ─OH─O. Oxidants include the herbicidal paraquat ion, peroxydisulphate ion, the peroxydisulphatesilver (ɪ) couple, lead tetraacetate and uranyl nitrate. Independet generation of alkoxy radicals (photolysis of the corresponding alkyl nitrites R 1 R 2 CHONO) and their hydroxyalkyl isomers (H abstraction from the parent alcohol) confirms the e. s. r. assignments: mechanistic consequences of the results are discussed.

Abstract The formation of ozone through photochemical oxidation of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and hydrocarbons, such as are present in gasoline, in the presence of small quantities of nitrogen oxides has been demonstrated. Ozone production without the addition of nitrogen oxides has been observed in the photochemical oxidation of biacetyl, bibutyryl, pyruvic acid, and butyl nitrite. The ozone produced in these reactions was identified by chemical and physical methods. The ozone formation is attributed to a peroxide radical chain reaction. The release of large quantities of hydrocarbons to the air and the simultaneous presence of nitrogen oxides from combustion processes explains the relatively high ozone content, and consequent severe rubber cracking, in the Los Angeles area. These findings should be considered in planning rubber storage facilities. In view of the irritating properties of the products formed by this photochemical oxidation, both hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides should be considered as potential irritants when they occur simultaneously in the air at low concentrations.
