Photosensitized epoxidation of norbornene by benzil leads to about two epoxide molecules or less per diketone molecule consumed, not the larger numbers previously reported. 3 It is not necessary to postulate a chain mechanism for this epoxidation, although side reactions still complicatethe process in many cases.In the original report3 of photoepoxidation of olefins by a-diketones, a survey was made of a number of olefins in reaction chiefly with biacetyl and benzil, comparing the yields and sensitizer efficiencies. Whereas the biacetyl-sensitized epoxidation always required 1 mol of biacetyl to produce up to 2 mol of epoxide, much higher recoveries of benzil were reported, indicating epoxidation efficiencies upto 16 mol of epoxide per mol of benzil consumed. In the course of following up the implications of these material balances for the reaction mechanism, we have found a serious error in the analytical procedure for the benzil photosensitizations,
