Photo-oxygenation of diphenyldiazomethane in the presence of phenyl trimethylsilyl ketone. Oxygen transfer from carbonyl oxide to the silyl ketone
Abstract
Dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of diphenyldiazomethane in the presence of phenyl trimethylsilyl ketone produced trimethylsilyl benzoate by reaction of a carbonyl oxide with the silyl ketone accompanied by 1,2-rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl group, together with benzophenone.
