Cerium-photocatalyzed aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and ketones

We have developed a cerium-photocatalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using inexpensive CeCl3·7H2O as photocatalyst and air oxygen as the terminal oxidant.
