Abstract
The catalytic effect of aqueous solutions of lithium perchlorate and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate on the photochemical oxidation of various phenols has been studied. Additionally, the increase of the yield of studied reactions has been observed in weakly alkaline aqueous solutions in comparison to the neutral ones. The analogous catalytic effect of 4 M or 2 M solutions in Et2O and CH2Cl2 of lithium perchlorate and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate on the reaction of α-phellandrene with singlet oxygen has been also observed.
