External Catalyst- and Additive-Free Photo-Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids or Ketones Using Air/O<sub>2</sub>

We present an environment-friendly and highly efficient method for the oxidation of aromatic alcohols to carboxylic acids or ketones in air via light irradiation under external catalyst-, additive-, and base-free conditions. The photoreaction system exhibits a wide substrate scope and the potential...
