title: AIBN-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of gem-disubstituted alkenes with O2 as an oxidant.
abstract: A 2,2-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) catalyzed oxidative cleavage of gem-disubstituted alkenes with molecular oxygen as the oxidant has been described. Carbonyl compounds were obtained as the desired products in high yield under mild conditions. Based on previous documents and current experimental results, a relatively reasonable mechanism is proposed.
