Abstract
The rate of the methylene blue photosensitized oxidation of olefins increases in the order: 1-nonene < 4-methylcyclohexene < cyclohexene < 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene < 2-hexene < cyclopentene < 1-methylcyclohexene < 2,3-dimethylcyclohexene < 1-methylcyclopentene < 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene < 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. The last compound is oxidized 5 500 times as fast as cyclohexene. Comparison of this reactivity sequence with those obtained in other reactions confirms that the reactive intermediate in the photosensitized oxidations is electrophilic. The relative rates (kA/kB) of photo-oxidation of 1-methylcyclopentene (A) and of 1-methylcyclohexene (B) are 10 and do not vary significantly with five different sensitizers. Thus the same reactive intermediate, presumably singlet oxygen, is formed using each of the five sensitizers.
