    Metal-free visible-light-promoted C(sp3)-H functionalization of aliphatic cyclic ethers using trace O2
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Niu, Ben; Blackburn, Bryan G.; Sachidanandan, Krishnakumar; Cooke, Maria Victoria; Laulhé, Sébastien; Chemistry and Chemical Biology, School of Science
    Presented is a light-promoted C-C bond forming reaction yielding sulfone and phosphate derivatives at room temperature in the absence of metals or photoredox catalyst. This transformation proceeds in neat conditions through an auto-oxidation mechanism which is maintained through the leaching of trace amounts of O2 as sole green oxidant.
