Abstract
The cheap and readily available organic dye eosin Y as photocatalyst enables the oxidation of alkynes using air as the oxidant under metal-free conditions upon irradiation with blue light to provide dicarbonylation products in good yields. Some oxidation-sensitive groups, such as formyl and a carbon-carbon double bond, were tolerated under the reaction conditions.
