Oxidative Photodecarboxylation of α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Derivatives with FSM-16 under Visible Light Irradiation of Fluorescent Lamp

Abstract

Hydroxycarboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under aerobic photo-oxidative conditions in the presence of FSM-16 under visible light irradiation by a fluorescent lamp. This synthetic protocol is the first example of FSM-16 functioning as a photocatalyst by visible light.
