Abstract:077ChemInform Abstract Products of cycloaddition and reduction are obtained by photolysis of (I) and (II) with quantum yields which increase with solvent polarity. The formation of reduction products connected with the presence of allylic hydrogen is enhanced with increasing oxidation potential. The photochemical and thermal reactions of (IX) with (II) are totally complementary, representing an example of a photochemically induced "Umpolung" of the reactivity of a 1,2-diketone. While (Id) and (II) react in a "… Show more
