We investigated the selective oxidation of styrenes to benzaldehydes by using a non-irradiated TiO<sub>2</sub>-H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> catalytic system. The oxidation promotes multi-step reactions from styrenes, including the cleavage of a C=C double bond and the addition of an oxygen atom selectively and stepwise to provide the corresponding benzaldehydes in good yields (up to 72%). These reaction processes were spectroscopically shown by fluorescent measurements under the presence of compet ...[more]
