In the introduction a review is given of the various methods available for probing the mechanism of photooxygenation reactions. To illustrate the methodology, some new results on the photooxygenation of alpha-ketocarboxylic acids and esters is given in which it is shown that these compounds sensitise singlet oxygen formation but are relatively unreactive to this oxidising species. Alternative mechanistic schemes are proposed.
在引言部分，回顾了可用于探究光氧化反应机理的各种方法。为了阐明该方法，给出了一些关于α-酮羧酸和酯光氧化的新结果，结果表明这些化合物能敏化单线态氧的形成，但对这种氧化物种相对不反应。并提出了其他的机理方案。
