“…In addition, in the presence of DABCO, which is a well‐known singlet oxygen scavenger (Lengfelder et al., ) (Table , entry 6) photooxidation of oleic acid was inhibited. According to the literature, singlet oxygen lifetime in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent is 19 μs, in acetonitrile (CH 3 CN) solvent is 65 μs, and in ethanol solvent is 38 μs which was corresponded with the results in Table (entry 3,7, and 8) (Bressan & Morvillo, ; Chen et al., ; Toffoli, Gomes, Junior, & Courrol, ). Table entry 3, 7, and 8 indicates that conversion of oleic acid in acetonitrile as solvent is higher than ethanol and DMSO that correlated with singlet oxygen lifetimes in this solvents.…”
