An efficient method for the oxidation of silanes to silanols with oxygen is described. The reaction proceeded under the catalysis of the photoredox catalyst Ru(bpy) 3 Cl 2 .6H 2 O by irradiation with 30 W blue LED. The reaction exhibited good substrate scope with up to 88 % yield. The applicability of the present methodology is demonstrated by gram scale synthesis. A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed.
