A homogeneous visible light photoredox TEMPO‐mediated selective oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds was developed using molecular oxygen from air as the terminal oxidant. Ru(bpy) 3 (PF 6 ) 2 (bpy: bipyridyl) and Ir(dtb‐bpy)(ppy) 2 (PF 6 ) (dtb‐bpy: 4,4′‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐2,2′‐bipyridyl; ppy: 2‐phenylpyridine) were used as the sensitizers.
