Popis: A variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids in the presence of platinum porphyrin, sunlight and air in acetonitrile solvent under mild conditions. Nitrobenzaldehydes were found to be very efficient 1O2 scavengers that quench the formation of acids from any aldehyde in the presence of free-base porphyrin sensitizers. However, nitrobenzaldehydes were converted to the corresponding acids in the presence of platinum porphyrins. The platinum porphyrins are very good and efficient catalysts for a wide range of applications in the aerobic conversion of aldehydes to acids.
