Abstract

The benzil-and biacetyl-sensitized photoepoxidation of olefins in the presence of oxygen has been studied. The photolytic loss of diketone is not affected by the presence of olefins; the ratio of epoxide formation to diketone consumption is in the range of 1-3. An 180-tracer study shows that the epoxide oxygen derives from molecular oxygen and that the recovered oxygen does not scramble. The photoepoxidation is accompanied by CC bond cleavage; ...
