CeCl3-N-Hydroxyphthalimide Complex as Semi-Heterogeneous Photocatalyst for Selective Oxidation of Toluene to Benzaldehyde.
The activation of inert C(sp3)-H bonds is the rate-determining step in photocatalytic selective oxidation of toluene, and the easy over-oxidation of target products makes it a great challenge in green organic synthesis. Herein, we report a semi-heterogeneous CeClx-NHPI complex, which is constructed via the coordination...
