Summary:[Display omitted] •4-Phenylthioxanthone-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of triarylphosphines.•Good functional groups compatibility.•Green oxidation method. We report herein a visible light-induced oxidation of triarylphosphines under aerobic condition with excellent functional group tolerance. In this transformation, the photo catalyst 4-phenylthioxanthone acted as a photosensitizer for the in situ generation of singlet oxygen. This new approach provided a cheaper and greener method for the preparation of phosphine oxide, showing great advantages in environmental protocols.
