Imines are important intermediates for the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. Selective oxidation of amines into their corresponding imines with dioxygen is one of the most-fundamental chemical transformations. Herein, we report the oxidation of a series of benzylic amines into their corresponding imines with atmospheric dioxygen as the oxidant on a surface of anatase TiO2 under visible-light irradiation (?>420 nm). The visible-light response of this system was caused by the formation of a surface complex through the adsorption of a benzylic amine onto the surface of TiO2. From the analysis of products of specially designed benzylic amines, we demonstrated that a highly selective oxygenation reaction proceeds via an oxygen-transfer mechanism to afford the corresponding carbonyl compound, whose further condensation with an amine would generate the final imine product. We found that when primary benzylic amines (13 examples), were chosen as the substrates, moderate to excellent selectivities for the imine products were achieved (ca. 3894?%) in moderate to excellent conversion rates (ca. 4495?%). When secondary benzylic amines (15 examples) were chosen as the substrates, both the corresponding imines and aldehydes were detected as the main products with moderate to high conversion rates (ca. 18100?%) and lower selectivities for the imine products (ca. 1469?%). When tribenzylamine was chosen as the substrate, imine (27?%), dibenzylamine (24?%), and benzaldehyde products (39?%) were obtained in a conversion of 50?%. This report can be viewed as a prototypical system for the activation of C?H bonds adjacent to heteroatoms such as N, O, and S atoms, and oxofuctionalization with air or dioxygen as the terminal oxidant under visible-light irradiation using TiO2 as the photocatalyst.
