Photochemical reaction of 2,4-dimethyl-1-phenylpentane-1,3-dione in the presence of oxygen. Formation of furan-3(2H)-one and peroxide
Abstract
Photolysis of 2,4-dimethyl-1-phenylpentane-1,3-dione (1) in the presence of oxygen gave 2,2,4-trimethyl-5-phenylfuran-3(2H)-one (2) and 6-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethyl-6-phenyl-1,2-dioxan-4-one (3)via the interaction of the type II biradical with oxygen.
