title: Selective aerobic oxidation of amines to imines by TiO2 photocatalysis in water.
abstract: Selective oxidation of benzylic amines to imines with atmospheric O2 is achieved in water on TiO2 under UV irradiation. The afforded imine could be easily separated and TiO2 can be recycled by filtration. To scale up, gram-scale imine products can be obtained.
