Visible-light photocatalytic selective aerobic oxidation of thiols to disulfides on anatase TiO2

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(20)63640-3

Abstract

Abstract: This work presents the visible-light photocatalytic selective oxidation of thiols to disulfides with molecular oxygen (O₂) on anatase TiO₂. The high specific surface area of anatase TiO₂ proved to be especially critical in conferring high photocatalytic activity. Herein, surface complexation between thiol and TiO₂ gives rise to photocatalytic activity under irradiation with 520 nm green light-emitting diodes (LEDs), resulting in excellent reaction activity, substrate scope, and functional group tolerance. The transformation was extremely efficient for the selective oxidation of various thiols, particularly with substrates bearing electron-withdrawing groups (reaction times of less than 10 min). To date, the longest wavelength of visible light that this system can utilize is 520 nm by the surface complex of substrate-TiO₂. Importantly, O₂ was found to act as the electron and proton acceptor, rather than to incorporate into the substrates. Our findings regarding this surface complex-based photocatalytic system can allow one to understand the interaction between the conduction band electrons and O₂.

Key words: Visible light, Photocatalysis, Titanium dioxide, Molecular oxygen, Disulfide
