Utilization of natural sunlight and air in the aerobic oxidation of benzyl halides

Chemical equations presented. A novel, efficient oxidation of α-aryl halogen derivatives to the corresponding α-aryl carbonyl compounds at room temperature has been disclosed. Natural sunlight and air are successfully utilized in this approach through the combination of photocatalysis and organocatalysis. A plausible mechanism was proposed on the basis of the mechanistic studies.
