ChemInform Abstract: METAL‐CATALYZED ORGANIC PHOTOREACTIONS. EVIDENCE FOR THE LONG‐RANGE ELECTRON‐TRANSFER MECHANISM IN THE URANYL‐ OR IRON(III)‐CATALYZED PHOTOREACTIONS OF OLEFINS

Synthetic Aspects of Photochemical Electron Transfer Reactions

“…Although only a few examples of these processes operating by electron transfer mechanisms have been explored in detail, they amply illustrate the synthetic potential of the method. Sato and his co-workers (368) have reported that the photooxidation of olefins in the presence of uranyl acetate leads to production of IJ-hydroxyhydroperoxides in low yields by a mechanism involving interligand electron transfer which leads to the adduct 491. Sata has shown that other substances capable Other examples of metal-catalyzed reactions of olefins are found in the production of a-chloroketones upon irradiation of pyridine solutions in the presence of ferric chloride.…”
