Ai. Kruppa et al., PARAMAGNETIC INTERMEDIATES IN THE PHOTOLYSIS OF 2-METHYLPROPANOYLTRIPROPYLSTANNANE STUDIED BY MEANS OF MULTINUCLEAR CIDNP, Perkin transactions. 2, (10), 1996, pp. 2151-2155
H-1, C-13 and Sn-119 CIDNP studies of 2-methylpropanoyltripropylstanna
ne Pr3SnC(O)Pr(1)1 photolysis in benzene have shown that its photodeco
mposition occurs from the triplet excited state via Sn-C (tin-carbonyl
) bond cleavage. Formation of Pr3Sn., (.)COCHMe, and (.)CHMe(2) free r
adicals has been observed. Possibilities of their reactions with initi
al ketone and main reaction products have been discussed.
