The photooxidation of tetracyclone yielding dibenzoyl stilbene was studied by means of an 18 O labelling method recently used to study heme catabolism. Unlike heme degrading systems, the photooxidation of tetracyclone was found to proceed by a one‐molecule mechanism whereby both oxygen atoms in dibenzoyl stilbene are derived from the same molecule of molecular oxygen. This is evidence for a dioxobridged intermediate.
