You may reasonably expect at least some degradation, especially if your catalyst is TiO2 (a standard material in these procedures).

Salim Y Hanna

Hi Saayak,

Your solvents DCE and DCM are stable under 254 nm UV light . Good Luck

Saayak Halder

Thanks Mr Pavlov for the insight! I am doing an organic reaction , and it doesn't have TiO2 or any other catalyst !!

Thank you Mr Hanna for the answer!!!!!
