Oxygen Atom Transfer in the Photocatalytic Oxidation of Alcohols by TiO2: Oxygen Isotope Studies

An uninvited guest: In the photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones using TiO2 in organic solvents, such as benzotrifluoride (BTF), an oxygen atom transfer from the dioxygen to the α-carbon atom of the alcohol dominates the reaction process.
