Photolysis of 3-ferrocenyl-1-(4′-methoxyphenyl)prop-1-ene in methanol
Abstract
Photolysis of 3-ferrocenyl-1-(4′-methoxyphenyl)prop-1-ene in methanol gives two ethers (3a) and (4a) the former by a 1,3-hydride transfer mechanism; both ethers undergo secondary photolysis to 1-ferrocenyl-3-(4′-methoxyphenyl)propane.
