Novel photo-rearrangements of 3,3,5-triaryl-1,2-dioxolanes: evidence for 1,5-dioxyl diradical intermediates
Abstract
3-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-substituted 1,2-dioxolanes undergo novel photo-rearrangements to afford 1,3-diaryl-3-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propan-1-ones along with 1,3,3-triaryl-3-hydroxypropan-1-ones via 1,5-dioxyl diradical intermediates.
