Abstract

Abstract Cyclic carbonate esters 2 and 3 were prepared and the photochemistry studied. The direct irradiation of these esters produces 1, 3-diradicals which undergo either ring closure to form epoxides, H migration to form ketones or Grob type fragmentation processes which lead to products via ring expansion or contraction.
