Although　all　kinds　of　the　promising　catalytic　approaches　have　been　developed　in　recent　years,　pursuing　a　complete　green　catalytic　system　with　high　efficiency　for　the　production　of　various　aldehydes　is　still　an　interesting　challenge.　Moreover,　the　low　chemo-selectivity　or　chemical　deactivation　for　particular　primary　aldehydes　with　complicated　substituent　groups,　however,　is　an　inevitable　bottleneck　for　achieving　industrial　application.　Here,　we　construct　a　new　green　pathway　in　which　carbonate-like　species　doped　TiO2　(C/T)　can　function　as　a　photocatalyst　to　exhibit　excellent　chemoselectivity　and　stability　toward　aerobic　oxidation　of　structurally　diverse　and　dysfunctional　alcohols　(20　examples)　with　dimethyl　carbonate　as　a　green　reaction　solvent.　The　control　experiments　with　various　species　scavengers　reveal　the　role　of　the　active　species　in　the　photocatalytic　system,　and　the　ESR　results　further　confirm　O2[rad]−　as　the　dominate　oxidative　species　for　the　reaction.　Through　that　the　plausible　reaction　mechanism　for　the　photocatalytic　selective　oxidation　of　alcohols　over　the　C/T　catalysts　is　proposed.　©　2017　Elsevier　B.V.
