Abstract

Photoredox cycling during UV irradiation of ferrocyanide ([Fe^II(CN)₆]^4-) in the presence of stoichiometric sulfite (SO₃^2-) is shown to be an extremely effective way to drive the reductive homologation of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to simple sugars and precursors of hydroxy acids and amino acids.
