Investigation of Cl−and I− as halide source According to the reaction mechanism, the interaction between Br− and the cationic radical of 1,2,4trimethoxybenzene as intermediate play an essential role for the formation of bromide product. Other halides, such as chloride and iodide, should share a similar nucleophile character for the halogenation reaction. Here, additional experiments were conducted to demonstrate the general feasibility of the reaction mechanism by replacing HBr with HCl and HI, obtaining 1-chloro-2,4,5trimethoxybenzene and 1-iodo-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzene as the chlorination and iodination products.

X= Cl and I The chlorination of 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene (TMB) was carried out in a similar procedure. Typically, photocatalyst (MOPs, 10 mg) and TMB (5.97 ul, 0.04 mmol) were dissolved in 10 ml acetonitrile. 37 % aqueous solution of HCl (32.85 ul, 0.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was saturated with O2 by bubbling O2 for 5 min, and then irradiated with a blue LED lamp (460 nm, 1.2 W/cm 2) at room temperature for overnight. After being extracted with brine and hexane, the crude product was purified via column chromatography. Yield: 70% Rf (hexane/ethyl acetate 14/1): 0.15 1

H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 6.82 (s, 1H), 6.50 (s, 1H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.76 (s, 3H);

Typically, photocatalyst (MOPs, 10 mg) and TMB (5.97 ul, 0.04 mmol) were dissolved in 10 ml acetonitrile. 57 % aqueous solution of HI (7.92 ul, 0.06 mmol) was added and the mixture was saturated with O2 by bubbling O2 for 5 min, and then irradiated with a blue LED lamp (460 nm, 1.2 W/cm 2) at room temperature for overnight.

(b) Standard curve of H2O2 concentration based on its absorption maximum at 551 nm. This method is based on the POD-catalyzed oxidation reaction of DPD by H2O2, which gives the radical cation DPD•+. The radical cation can be easily determined by its two typical absorption peaks at ca. 510 and 551 nm.

Figure S20. Suggested mechanism for the formation of benzaldehyde instead of p-bromotoluene with toluene being as reactive substrate due to the high oxidation potential of toluene (1.98 V vs. SCE). The VB of MOP-1 lay at ca. 1.75 V vs. SCE, which was not sufficient to be able to oxidize the phenyl ring of toluene. The formation of the cationic radical of toluene could not occur. The desired brominated product could therefore not be obtained.
