Photooxygenation of p-xylene by oxygen occurs efficiently under photoirradiation of 9-mesityl-2,7,10-trimethylacridinium ion (Me(2)Acr(+)-Mes) to yield p-tolualdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, which is initiated via photoinduced electron transfer of Me(2)Acr(+)-Mes to produce the electron-transfer state.

The mechanism for the oxidation of -tolylmethanol to -tolualdehyde catalyzed by a Cu/pytl-β-cyclodextrin/TEMPO (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy) catalytic system under air in neat water is fully investigated by density functional theory (DFT). Four possible pathways (paths A → D) are presented. The calculated TOF = 0.

Colorimetric indicators are versatile for applications such as intelligent packaging. By interacting with food, package headspace, and/or the ambient environment, color change in these indicators can be useful for reflecting the actual quality and/or monitoring distribution history (e.g.

Without using chiral sources, the Strecker reaction of achiral hydrogen cyanide, p-tolualdehyde and benzhydrylamine gave enantioenriched l- or d-N-benzhydryl-α-(p-tolyl)glycine nitriles with up to >99% ee in a mixed solvent of water and methanol. Therefore, total spontaneous resolution of α-aminonitriles could occur through a prebiotic mechanism of α-amino acid synthesis. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the repetition of partial dissolution and crystallization of a suspended conglomerate of aminonitrile under solution-phase racemization could generate the enantiomeric imbalance to afford, in combination with the amplification of chirality, an enantioenriched product in every case.

A simple donor-acceptor linked dyad, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr(+)-Mes) was incorporated into nanosized mesoporous silica-alumina to form a composite, which in acetonitrile is highly dispersed. In this medium, upon visible light irradiation, the formation of an extremely long-lived electron-transfer state (Acr(•)-Mes(•+)) was confirmed by EPR and laser flash photolysis spectroscopic methods. The composite of Acr(+)-Mes-incorporated mesoporous silica-alumina with an added copper complex [(tmpa)Cu(II)] (ClO(4)(-))2 (tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) acts as an efficient and robust photocatalyst for the selective oxygenation of p-xylene by molecular oxygen to produce p-tolualdehyde and hydrogen peroxide.
