Photoexcited Structural Diversification of Carboxylic Acids with Phosphorus Promoter

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Photoexcitation of carboxylic acids is challenging due to high energy requirements and low quantum efficiency. Recently, Scheidt and co-workers reported a single-flask transformation of carboxylic acids into acyl phosphonates, which facilitates the generation of diradicals under visible light irradiation. Building on this work, an efficient strategy for the structural reconstruction of carboxylic acids has been developed.
