Report I.
Magnets, 1 mmol 1-chloro-2-(methoxymethyl)benzene (170 mg), 20 mg20 mol% AgI/BiVO4 composite and 2 mL ethanol were sequentially added to a 25 mL reaction vial, equipped with a 28 cm diameter oxygen sphere, and a 16 W white-light lamp was equipped at the right side of the vial at a distance of 10 cm, the reaction system The reaction system was reacted under the irradiation of a 16 W white light lamp for 16 h. The reaction solution was extracted, and the combined organic layers were washed three times with saturated brine, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, desolvated under reduced pressure, and the residue was processed by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:10) to obtain methyl phthalate in 71% yield (120.4 mg).
Report II,
20 mg Au-Co composite particle loadings (0.1 mol%), 13.8 mg K2CO3 (10 mol%), 142.5 mg o-chlorobenzoic acid methanol (lmmol), and 4 mL of methanol were added sequentially to a pressure kettle with a 25 mL glass liner, and the oxygen was replaced three times and then the pressure was filled up to 0.l MPa. 80 ?? reaction 10h, cooled to room temperature, slowly bleed down the pressure, filtration of catalyst, filtrate spin concentration, residue column chromatography to get a yellowish liquid product methyl phlorobenzoate 159.6mg, yield 90%.
