Abstract

Photooxygenation of cyclohexane by O₂ occurs efficiently under visible-light irradiation of an O₂-saturated acetonitrile solution containing 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ions (Acr⁺-Mes) and HCl to yield cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and hydrogen peroxide. The photocatalytic reaction is initiated by electron transfer from Cl^- to the mesitylene radical cation moiety.
