Abstract

Water-oil interfaces exhibit a high cohesive energy density and form a supramolecular hydrogen-bonding network that supports organic reactions in various ways. Here, we introduce the redox-neutral photo-Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation of quinones at the aqueous-organic interface. Spectroscopic evidence and computational studies indicate extensive hydrogen bonding at the water surface, ...
