Abstract

Abstract: The photolysis of spiro [2.5 locta-4, 7-dien-6-one in ethyl ether gave four products in addition to polymer, The products were p-ethylphenol (7) and three compounds (8, 9, and 10) which were 1: 1 adducts of starting material and solvent. The structures of the adducts were determined by spectroscopy and by independent synthesis. The formation of reduction products and the incorporation of ether into the products demand the postulation of ...
