Abstract

Dharmendra Kumar

Sensitized photo-oxidation of p-aminobenzoic acid by Fenton reagent was studied. The effect of various reaction parameters such as substrate, H₂O₂, FeSO₄, pH, polarity of solvent and catalyst variation was studied. The progress of the reaction was observed by TLC. Photoproduct was characterized by physical, chemical and spectral methods. A tentative mechanism has been proposed with overall reaction.
