描述:Benzoylcyclohexane on irradiation on a dry silica gel surface, undergo an oxidative cleavage to give adipic acid and subsituted benzoic acid along with the Norrish Type II product. The kinetics of racemization of benzoylcyclohexane (2-benzoylcyclohexanone) in hexane, ethanol and their mixtures has been investigated by time dependence of enantiomeric purity using enantioselective HPLC
