Oxidation of Squalene

Dye-Sensitized photo-oxidation of Squalene in methanol-benzene (1:4) have been investigated with a view to obtaining allytic alcohols through an ene-type reaction. These allylic alcohols can be of significant because t h ey can undergo cyclizations to give ring systems as has been demostrated b...
