Benzyl alcohol (BA) is a major biomass derivative and can be further converted into deoxybenzoin (DOB) benzoin (BZ) as high-value products for industrial applications through photocatalytic C-C coupling reaction. The process contains two reaction steps, which are (1) the of BA to hydrobenzoin (HB) intermediates (2) either dehydration HB DOB or dehydrogenation BZ. We found that generation BZ mainly determined by activation C
