Abstract
Photolysis of dibenzothiophene sulfoxide in isopropanol provides biphe nyl in quantitative yield via two sequential photochemical reactions. Mechanistic aspects of the reaction are discussed, including the unusu al observation that isoprene increases the quantum yield of loss of st arting material.
