title: Visible light-induced heterogeneous Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type reduction of an aldehyde group over an organically modified titanium dioxide photocatalyst.
abstract: An organically modified titanium dioxide photocatalyst prepared by a simple impregnation method chemoselectively and almost quantitatively converted benzaldehydes having other reducible functional groups to the corresponding benzyl alcohols under visible light irradiation.
