Herein, we report the first example of an effective and green approach for the oxidative cleavage of olefins to carboxylic acids using a 1,2-dibutoxyethane/O2 system under clean conditions. This novel oxidation system also has excellent functional-group tolerance and is applicable for large-scale synthesis. The target products were prepared in good to excellent yields by a one-pot sequential transformation without an external initiator, catalyst, and additive.

We develop an electrochemical nickel-catalyzed aminomethylation of aryl bromides under mild conditions. The convergent paired electrolysis makes full use of anode and cathode processes, free of a terminal oxidant, a sacrificial anode, a metal reductant, and a prefunctionalized radical precursor. In addition, this method exhibits wide functional group tolerance (63 examples), including some sensitive substituents and aromatic heterocycles. This redox neutral cross coupling provides a more environmentally friendly and synthetic practical protocol for forging C(sp2)–C(sp3) bonds.

Oxidation of primary alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde remains a significant challenge, even with the state-of-the-art chemistry. Here, a novel electrochemical system was developed for the exclusive production of aldehyde from primary alcohol using an anion-exchange membrane (AEM) reactor. Oxidation proceeded on a gold catalyst under basic conditions, which largely enhanced the reaction rate. Despite the basic nature around the reaction sites, the oxidation of primary alcohols exclusively yielded the corresponding aldehyde, which was attributed to the unique three-phase interfacial reaction sites in the AEM reactor. In addition to benzyl alcohol, the oxidation of allylic and aliphatic alcohols was also demonstrated. Comparison of constant potential electrolysis with the AEM reactor or a conventional batch-type cell revealed the crucial role of the triple-phase boundary for the selectivity of the oxidation of alcohol.
