“…Whereas single product is obtained with lower molecular weight alcohols, the oxidation of higher molecular weight alcohols may yield by-products. In a different study, the photocatalytic oxidation of cyclohexylmethanol, 2-cyclohexylethanol and 1-cyclohexylethanol over nano-P25 TiO 2 in acetonitrile under aerated conditions showed moderate conversion ratios of 55.2, 51.8 and 60.3 %, respectively, which comprise the corresponding aldehydes or ketones and carboxylic acids (Mohamed et al 2008).…”

The potentials of semiconductor photocatalysis in organic synthesis cannot be overemphasised. By far, many organic substances have been successfully synthesised at laboratory scale. Some revolutionary features of these photocatalytic routes include greenness and the ability to proceed in one pot. Herein, an overview of the routes and suggested mechanisms to important functional groups is given, and where necessary, contrast with the conventional routes is made.The potentials of semiconductor photocatalysis in organic synthesis cannot be overemphasised.

“…These materials are good candidates for applications in photocatalysis, sensors, solar cells and displays [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Photocatalysis have attracted considerable attention owing to the ability in the degradation of various environmental pollutants [15][16][17][18][19]. Zinc oxide is known to be a good photocatalyst for the degradation of environmental contaminants due to its high activity, excellent chemical stability, low cost, and absence of toxicity [20][21][22].…”
