Abstract

Abstract: The output of an argon ion laser has been used to generate reactive intermediates through the excitation of a carbonyl compound@-benzoquinone or benzophenone) in the presence of an olefin. These reactive intermediates can be trapped either with oxygen to form 1, 2, 4-trioxanes or with sulfur dioxide to form cyclic sulfones. Several lines of evidence are presented that indicate that these reactive intermediates frequently are not the ...
