Abstract

Results Preparative-scale photolysis of cyclopropanes 4a-g resulted in every case in formation of a 1, l-diarylpropene (5a-g). In most cases a 1-arylindan derivative (6) was also produced. See eq 2. With 4e (X= OCH, Y= CFJ there was a small amount of material produced having a relative GC retention time characteristic of an indan; however, there was insufficient material to allow for isolation and identification. No indan was detected on ...
