A green and efficient photocatalytic route for the highly-selective oxidation of saturated alpha-carbon C–H bonds in aromatic alkanes over flower-like Bi2WO6†
Abstract
A green and efficient route for the highly-selective oxidation of saturated alpha-carbon C–H bonds in aromatic alkanes under visible-light irradiation and solvent-free conditions is developed using flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres as catalysts.
