    Oxadiazolines are bench-stable diazo precursors, which are activated under UV radiation in the presence of vinylboronic acids and aldehydes to enable a one-step three-component assembly of densely-functionalized homoallylic alcohols. Sub-stitution on all positions of the homoallylic alcohol product were achieved with high functional group tolerance. No catalyst or other additive was required to effect the reaction which proceeds at 20 ℃ over 40 minutes. Imines and indoles were also incorporated, giving access to homoallylic amines

    Photochemical Homologation for the Preparation of Aliphatic Aldehydes in Flow

    Cheap and readily available aqueous formaldehyde was used as a formylating reagent in a homologation reaction with nonstabilized diazo compounds, enabled by UV photolysis of bench-stable oxadiazolines in a flow photoreactor. Various aliphatic aldehydes were synthesized along with the corresponding derivatized alcohols and benzimidazoles. No transition-metal catalyst or additive was required to affect the reaction, which proceeded at room temperature in 80 min.</p

    Development of a Flow Photochemical Aerobic Oxidation of Benzylic C–H Bonds

    A continuous mesofluidic process has been developed for benzylic C–H oxidation with moderate to good yields using a photocatalyst (riboflavin tetraacetate, RFT) activated by a UV lamp and an iron additive [Fe­(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] via incorporation of singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>) for the direct formation of oxidized CO or CH–OH compounds
