title: Water-promoted cascade synthesis of alpha-arylaldehydes from arylalkenes using N-halosuccinimides: an avenue for asymmetric oxidation using Cinchona organocatalysis.
abstract: The direct oxidation of arylalkenes into alpha-arylaldehydes is achieved for the first time in water without relying on transition metal catalysts, and a novel organocatalytic enantioselective approach is also explored to provide up to 30% ee in initial investigations.
