Abstract

R. P. Sharma¹ and V. K. Vaidya²

The photosensitized-oxidation of 2- furan carbaldehyde in methanol was studied. The photo product was identified as 2-furan carboxylic acid by physical, chemical and spectral methods. The intermediacy of uranium (V) was proved spectrophotometrically and a mechanism has been proposed.
