A visible-light photocatalytic aerobic oxidative lactonization of arene C(sp2)–H bonds proceeds in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and tert-butyl nitrite (TBN). Under the optimized conditions, a range of 2-arylbenzoic acids is converted into the corresponding benzocoumarin derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. This method is characterized by its atom economy, mild reaction conditions, the use of a green oxidant and metal-free catalysis.

DDQ 和亚硝酸叔丁酯促进可见光诱导的芳烃 C(sp2)-H 内酯化

在 2,3-二氯-5,6-二氰基-1,4-苯醌 (DDQ) 和亚硝酸叔丁酯 (TBN) 存在下，芳烃 C(sp2)-H 键的可见光光催化有氧氧化内酯化反应进行. 在优化的条件下，一系列 2-芳基苯甲酸以中等至极好的收率转化为相应的苯香豆素衍生物。该方法的特点是原子经济、反应条件温和、使用绿色氧化剂和无金属催化。
