Reaction Conditions:

with tris[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-C²,N]-iridium(III);oxygen in acetonitrile at 20;Irradiation;Sealed tube;Green chemistry;chemoselective reaction;

Steps:

Synthesis of carboxylic acids
General procedure: An oven-dried resealable test tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged withaldehyde (1.0 mmol), Ir(dFppy)3 (0.005-0.01 mmol), and MeCN (4.0 mL, 0.25 M). Oxygen wasthen bubbled through the reaction mixture and sealed with a silicone septa screw-cap. A balloonfilled with oxygen was attached to the tube, and the test tube was placed under blue LEDs atroom temperature. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 3-12 h, and reaction progress waschecked by TLC. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the corresponding carboxylic acidwas purified by flash silica gel chromatography.
