, p. 4887 - 4888 (2005)
The preparation of a ketone from a phosphorane and a nitrile is described. The workup conditions are mild, and the yields are high. The unreacted starting materials can easily be recovered.

A mild and green photochemical protocol for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones was developed. Utilizing thioxanthenone as the photocatalyst, molecular oxygen from air as the oxidant and cheap household lamps or sunlight as the light source, a variety of primary and secondary alcohols were converted into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in low to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism was extensively studied.
Visible-Light-Driven Epoxyacylation and Hydroacylation of Olefins Using Methylene Blue/Persulfate System in Water
De Souza, Gabriela F. P.,Bonacin, Juliano A.,Salles, Airton G.
, p. 8331 - 8340 (2018/07/21)
A visible-light-driven strategy for hydroacylation and epoxyacylation of olefins in water using methylene blue as photoredox catalyst and persulfate as oxidant is reported. In this unprecedented unified approach, two different transformations are accomplished using only one set of reagents. The method has a broad scope spanning a range of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes as well as conjugated and nonconjugated olefins to deliver ketones and epoxyketones from abundant and inexpensive chemical feedstocks.
