Abstract
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.
