title: Oxidative transformation of arylmethyl bromides and alcohols with a combination of mesoporous silica FSM-16 and alkali iodides under photoirradiation.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. A mesoporous silica FSM-16 was found to be a selective and recyclable promoter for the oxidative dehalogenation of arylmethyl bromides to provide the corresponding alcohols and for the oxidation of arylmethyl alcohols to provide the corresponding aldehydes with a combination of alkali iodides and solvents under photoirradiation conditions.
