Although traditional methods of TEMPO disproportionation rely on strong acids, this research provides milder, sustainable conditions using visible light and a weak acid with very small loading (&amp;lt;0.10 mol %) of a common and affordable organic photocatalyst. This method is compatible with acid-sensitive functional groups and applicable to a broad range of primary benzylic, allylic, and aliphatic alcohols with excellent to moderate yields. Detailed mechanistic investigations were employed including Stern\u2013Volmer luminescence quenching analysis, direct UV\u2013vis observation of the fleeting oxoammonium ion intermediate, kinetic isotope effect analysis, and partial rate order determination of the weak acid. These results highlight the key role of the excited photocatalyst in promoting disproportionation with only a small dependence on weak acid. This novel approach expands the applications of TEMPO disproportionation using mild photoredox-catalyzed conditions to bypass the strong acid requirement for greater substrate compatibility while exploring new methodologies for in situ oxoammonium ion generation without the use of external oxidants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.joc.6c01658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T18:01:53Z","timestamp":1785866513000},"page":"11186-11192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Organic Photoredox-Catalyzed\nTEMPO Disproportionation:\nDevelopment of a Mild Platform for In Situ Oxoammonium Ion Formation"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Caroline W.","family":"Evans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tampa , , , ,","place":["Tampa, Florida, United States, 33606"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8442-2539","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Brett N.","family":"Hemric","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tampa , , , ,","place":["Tampa, Florida, United States, 33606"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081410093438800_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8655","DOI":"10.1021\/ja0291888","article-title":"Scavenging with TEMPO\u2022 To Identify Peptide-\nand Protein-Based Radicals by Mass Spectrometry: Advantages of Spin\nScavenging over Spin Trapping","volume":"125","author":"Wright","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
