Abstract

A computational and experimental analysis of HAT mechanism to obtain carboxylic acid via photooxidation of aldehyde is described, using a homemade reactor. The considered photocatalysts are organic dyes such as 2-chloroanthraquinone (2-ClAQN), rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), fluorescein (Fl), and eosin B (EOB); and the light spectrum is that of the visible light.

  • 22 A solution of benzaldehyde (1, 1 equiv), 2-ClAQN as photocatalyst (0.1 equiv), and K2CO3 (0.05 equiv) in EtOAc (1 mL), and the mixture was stirred and irradiated under visible-light radiation with 23 W fluorescent bulbs and O2 (atm) during 4 h. After the reaction time, 1.0 mL of 10% NaHCO3 solution was added to the reaction, and the organic phase was separated from the aqueous phase. Subsequently, the aqueous phase was added to a 2.0 N HCl solution, and it was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL), anhydrous Na2SO4 was added to the organic phase, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the product 2.
