I am doing a reaction in which terminal alkene was broken down into ketone, aldehyde, and another by product aldehyde (formaldehyde). The problem is that this formaldehyde reacts with another substrate, which causes a decrease in yield. I need to scavenge the formaldehyde (maybe the radial). Note that all these reactions are going on via a photocatalytic system.

Photocatalytic processes are very complex. The selective scavenge of formaldehyde does not exist. An addition of whatever chemical to the system will make the system more complex. In order to better understand the role of formaldehyde, try to add some known amount of formaldehyde and see what happens.
