Abstract

Abstract: Photolysis of a-(0-toly1) acetone (TA) in 2-propanol was reported not to produce the indanol product expected from &hydrogen abstraction and cyclization of the resulting 1, 5-biradical. A reinvestigation of this reaction reveals that the photolysis of solutions of TA does produce an indanol, albeit as a minor product. Similarly, photolysis of benzene solutions of o-tolylmethyl benzyl ketone (TBK) and o-tolylmethyl cyclohexyl ketone (TCK) ...
