“…Several methods have been developed in the oxygenation of CC bonds with O 2 or air as the sole oxidant. − However, most of these developed oxidation systems could only chemoselectively transform into the corresponding alcohols, , aldehydes, or ketones, − possibly due to the triplet-ground-state of O 2 , which generates a high kinetic barrier to oxidation and results in inefficient utilization of oxygen. , To overcome these drawbacks, several approaches have been reported, such as photocatalyst-promoted, transition-metal catalyzed, and additive-promoted oxidation of alkenes to carboxylic acids using O 2 as the oxygen source. For example, Hirashima et al developed a method for the CBr 4 -catalyzed oxidative cleavage of alkenes to produce carboxylic acids with O 2 under aerobic photoirradiation conditions (Scheme a) .…”
