— The photochemical reactions of cyclohexanone have been studied in the system sodium octanoate/1‐decanol/water which is known to form bilayers under the conditions used. Cyclohexanone photochemistry was also studied in aqueous media, 1‐decanol, and decane. The photoproducts from the bilayer system result predominantly from reaction of the carbonyl group of cyclohexanone at the hydroxy methylene group of 1‐decanol. These products include cyclohexanol, decanal, and n ‐decyl hexanoate. It is concluded that cyclohexanone in the bilayer system is largely concentrated near the hydroxy methylene group of 1‐decanol.
