Abstract

A novel photooxidative system using dye sensitised zinc oxide in combination with silver nitrate and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO) in an aqueous solution is described. Under visible light irradiation the selective oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones was effected in good to excellent yields.
