Abstract

Abstract: Excitation of a series of aralkyl thiones into the S2 (T, T*) state leads to a formal insertion into the 6 position and the formation of cyclopentyl thiols. Excitation into the Si (n, T*) state does not lead to the same products and reaction is very slow. The former reaction may be quenched with biacetyl, but not with up to 2 M piperylene, nor can it be induced with a variety of triplet sensitizers. These and other observations make it probable that Sz is the ...
