It was found that the photocatalytic oxidative deoximation reaction is actually an autocatalytic process catalyzed by the generated ketone products. In contrast to reported deoximation methods, this reaction is metal-free and waste-free. The deoximation reaction is a significant transformation process in the industrial production of a variety of fine chemicals. The use of visible light as the driving force makes this method even more practical for the utilization of sustainable energy from an industrial viewpoint. Moreover, understanding the mechanism of the autocatalytic oxidative deoximation reaction may help chemical engineers to develop related techniques to avoid the decomposition of oximes, which are significant starting materials and intermediates during the production of fine chemicals and medicines.

可见光驱动的自催化脱氧反应

已经发现，光催化氧化脱氧反应实际上是由产生的酮产物催化的自催化过程。与报道的脱氧方法相反，该反应不含金属且不含废物。脱氧肟化反应是工业生产各种精细化学品中的重要转化过程。从工业角度来看，使用可见光作为驱动力使该方法对于利用可持续能源更加实用。此外，了解自催化氧化脱氧反应的机理可以帮助化学工程师开发相关技术来避免肟的分解，肟是精细化学品和药品生产中的重要起始原料和中间体。
