Abstract

Photocycloaddition and hydrogen abstraction reactions between benzophenones and allylic silanes have been investigated. The high regioselective oxetane formations were explained in terms of an additional stability due to the σ Si–C–p π hyperconjugation of β-silyl radicals in diradical intermediates. Allyl radical substituted by a trimethylsilyl group, which was generated from a hydrogen abstraction reaction, recombined with benzophenone ketyl ...
