Response to Comment on “Photoinduced Protocol for Aerobic Oxidation of Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids under Mild Conditions”

Light-induced autoxidation of aldehydes to peracids and carboxylic acids

“…We employed a mixed solvent system under sunlight irradiation to effectively address the most controversial aspects encountered in prior works 13 e – g concerning solubility and volatility. 24 A broad spectrum of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with various EWGs and EDGs at different positions afforded carboxylic acids in high yields under the optimized conditions (Scheme 3). Some aldehydes displayed slower reaction rates ( k a ) in water-containing mixed solvent systems under sunlight.…”
