Oxidative photocyclisation of 2- biphenylol in dilute aqueous solution

Abstract

OPP or o.phenylphenol is commonly used for fruit preservation. The biological properties of 2-hydroxydibenzofuran or 2-HODBF should be controlled. The formation of (2-HODBF) was observed when an air saturated solution of 2-biphenylol was irradiated at 296, 313 or 334 nanometer (nm) (2
