Abstract: Selective oxidation of benzylic amines to imines with atmospheric O<subscript>2</subscript> is achieved in water on TiO<subscript>2</subscript> under UV irradiation. The afforded imine could be easily separated and TiO<subscript>2</subscript> can be recycled by filtration. To scale up, gram-scale imine products can be obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
