Near infrared photo release of nitrosyl chloride for mild TEMPO mediated aerobic alcohol oxidation
Felix Löffler, Jan L. Peters, Hendrick Wellmann, Armido StuderGeminal chloro nitroso alkanes release nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) under near infrared irradiation (590–720 nm). This work demonstrates the utility of this photoprotecting group for TEMPO mediated aerobic alcohol oxidation under mild conditions.
