Pt-Modified Nb2O5 for Efficient Photocatalytic Lactonization of Diols Coupled with H2 Evolution

As vital chemical intermediates, lactones are widely utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis and other chemical industry sectors. However, the established synthetic routes for lactones are hampered by harsh reaction conditions and low yields. In this work, highly efficient light-induced lactonization of diols to lactone...
