Photochemistry of 1,2-dihydrophthalimide
Abstract
The title compound undergoes irradiation-induced transformations, the most interesting being fragmentations to benzene and benzamide, and rearrangements including degenerate 1,5-acyl shifts and 1,2-acyl shifts with cyclopropane ring closure; a mechanism is proposed, following product isolation and deuterium labelling studies.
