Semiconductor-Photocatalyzed Sulfoxidation of Alkanes

The CH activation of alkanes with visible light is possible with a semiconductor as the photocatalyst. Upon irradiation, a mixture of titanium dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen can be used to convert alkanes into the corresponding sulfonic acids (see scheme).
