Abstract:

Visible-light photoredox catalysis, which shows typical features of clean and energy-saving procedures, excellent functional group tolerance, and high chemical selectivities, is a novel and powerful organic synthesis method. As a cheap, ecologically benign oxidant, the combination of aerobic oxidation with visible-light photoredox catalysis greatly promotes the development of green chemistry. This review briefly summarizes recent achievements in the area of visible-light-driven aerobic oxidation by our laboratory and also give its outlook in the future.

Key words: visible-light photoredox catalysis, aerobic oxidation, green chemistry, organic synthesis
