Photochemically-Enabled Umpolung Conversion of 2-Acyloxybenzaldehydes into 2-Hydroxybenzofuranones

Photochemically-Enabled Umpolung Conversion of 2-Acyloxybenzaldehydes into 2-Hydroxybenzofuranones

2-Acyloxybenzaldehydes are converted into 2-hydroxybenzofuranones in good to excellent yields (60–99%). The reaction proceeds at room temperature in DMSO upon 365 nm LED irradiation under photocatalyst-free conditions. The present atom-economical synthetic approach represents the aldehyde group umpo...
