Abstract

Dye-sensitized photo-dimerisation of mandelic acid has been carried out. The product has been isolated and characterized. The participation of singlet oxygen as the active species has also been confirmed. A tentative mechanism for the photo-dimerisation of mandelic acid by singlet oxygen has been proposed.
