    Photo-oxidation of Alkylbenzenes Initiated by 1-Naphthol
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1974, 70 (07), 1974) Klein, Allan E.; Pilpel, Neiton
    The addition of 1-naphthol accelerates the photo-oxidation of alkylbenzcncs when their alkyl group contains a reactive hydrogen atom. From the effects of u.v. light on dilute solutions of 1-naphthol in cumene, s-butylbcnzcnc and t-butylbcnzene, which have been floated as layers on water, it is possible to propose a mechanism by which the alkylbenzcncs arc oxidised under the influence of u.v. light.
