Photocatalytic chemoselective cleavage of C–O bonds under hydrogen gas- and acid-free conditions

Abstract

In the presence of a palladium-loaded TiO2 photocatalyst, the cleavage of benzyl phenyl ether in low-molecular-weight alcohol solvents under de-aerated conditions afforded toluene and phenol simultaneously in a 1 : 1 molar ratio.
