“…The minor component (5%) present in the photolysis mixture derived from 19 was identified as l-phenyl-2-methyl-3-allylindene (21) on the basis of its characteristic spectral data: IR (neat) 3.32,3.45,6.12, 6.24, 6.71, 6.90. 9.75, 10.05, 10.90, 12.85, 13.30, 13.65, 14.35 µ ; UV (95% ethanol) 263 nm U 6900), 220 (17 800); NMR (CDC13,100 MHz) r 8.16 (s, 3 H), 6.68 (d, 2 H, J = 5.5 Hz), 5.72 (s, 1 ), 4.80-5.24 (m, 2 H), 3.82-4.28 (m, 1 ), 2.64-3.10 (m, 9 H); m/e 246 (M+), 206,205 (base), 108, 77. The structure of this material was further verified by comparison with an independently synthesized sample.…”
