Abstract

The first heterogeneous photocatalysis system including a bipyridinium-based complex as the electron-transfer catalyst was developed for aerobic oxidation of alcohols without the use of any noble-metal, external N-oxide or peroxide co-oxidant. The current work provides an efficient strategy for alcohol oxidation through a cost-effective, convenient and eco-friendly route.
