Abstract

The di-? r-methane rearrangement of a series of meta and para substituted arylvinylmethane reactants was investigated with the aim of determining the patterns of reactivity in systems in which initial excitation is localized in the aryl moiety. Thus the photochemistry of 3-methyl-3- phenyl-l-butene, 3-methyl-3-(p-cyanophenyl)-l-butene, 3-methyl-3-(m-cyanophenyl)-l- butene, 3-methyl-3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-l-butene, and 3-methyl-3-(m-methoxyphenyl)-1- ...
