- Abstract
Visible‐light‐mediated hydrolysis of benzyl halides has been achieved that is efficiently catalyzed by metal‐free catalyst rhodamine B. Benzyl bromides and chlorides can smoothly react with water to prepare a series of benzyl alcohol compounds in good yields. A mild, simple, and clean method has been reported for the hydrolysis of various benzyl halides under visible‐light driven system using rhodamine B as the photocatalyst, which was found to be an efficient photosensitizer for this reaction. Benzyl bromides and benzyl chlorides could smoothly react with water to give the alcohols in good yields.
