Selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols in batch and flow can be realized under light irradiation, utilizing disulfide as the photocatalyst, and a variety of primary and secondary alcohols were converted to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in up to 99% yield and high selectivity. The reaction efficiency could be increased even further by combining a continuous-flow strategy. Detailed mechanistic studies have also been achieved to determine the role of oxygen and disulfides in this oxidation.
