General procedure for C-H bond functionalization of cyclic and linear ether: A dry test tube (20 mL) with rubber septum and magnetic stirrer bar was charged with aliphatic ether (1 mL). The test tube was purged with dry oxygen for 10 minutes and then added 1 x 10-5 M of photosensitizer (typically meso-TPP or rosebengal) and again purged with dry oxygen for 5 minutes. Finally, it was added 10 mol% of Lewis acid (ϒ-Al2O3). The solution was then irradiated using 100 W Hg lamp or a blue-LEDs array for 8 h at room temperature under an 1 atm oxygen atmosphere. The unreacted starting material was evaporated using a rotary evaporator, and the residue products were submitted for NMR analysis.
