Procedure

Cyclohexene oxidation was carried out in aqueous solvent media. A stirred suspension of 10 ml water, 100 mg of TiO2 semiconductor powder, and 0.2 ml cyclohexene was illuminated with a 500 watt mercury lamp for about 3 hours. This procedure resulted primarily in the formation of 2-cyclohexene-1-one (28 μmol) with a minor amount of cyclohexene oxide (0.3 μmol).
