Selective Oxidation of Alcohols to Carbonyls under Decatungstate‐Mediated Photoelectrochemical Conditions

The Cover Feature depicts the conversion of benzyl alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The protocol, also extended to aliphatic derivatives, leverages the unique properties of the decatungstate anion in the role of photocatalyst. The transformation occurred smoothly under photoelectrochemical conditions, requiring the simultaneous irradiation and electrolysis of the reaction mixture, and delivered the desired products in high chemical yields and faradaic efficiencies.
