Photosynthetic dehydrogenation : Potential usefulness of visible‐light‐induced dehydrogenation of alcohols in organic synthesis was demonstrated, in which aldehydes and H 2 were afforded by using Ru/SrTiO 3 :Rh and water (see scheme). Water was essential for the reaction. High efficiency (TON: up to 15 400 based on Rh; H 2 and aldehyde evenly generated) and high selectivity were achieved.
