T. Tsuno et al., Allenyl(vinyl)methane photochemistry. Photochemistry of gamma-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,2-butadienyl)-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ester and nitrilederivatives, TETRAHEDRON, 57(23), 2001, pp. 4831-4840
The direct photolyses of the gamma-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,2-butadienyl)-sub a
lpha,beta -unsaturated esters and nitriles gave the bicyclo[2.1.0]pentanes,
cross-conjugated trienes, and several intramolecular products, while the t
riplet-sensitization led to the former two compounds. It was found that the
photochemoselectivity depended on the substituents on the vinyl group and
would be controlled by the energy using the tripler sensitizers. (C) 2001 E
