Electronic excited states of small ring compounds. Substituent effects on the photochemical ring cleavage of 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-diarylcyclopropenes
Abstract
The mixture of dienes formed upon direct irradiation of 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-diarylcyclopropenes [1-phenyl-2-p-methoxyphenyl (Ib) and 1-phenyl-2-p-cyano-phenyl (Ic)] indicates regioselective cleavage of the cyclopropene bond bearing the electron donating aryl ring.
