Abstract

(18) With this result in hand we made a particular, but unsuccessful, effort to induce 15 to undergo intramolecular [2 4-21 cycloaddition. Photolysis of solutions containing 15 under a variety of conditions of direct or acetophenone-sensitized irradiation led only to decomposition of the ketene without the formation of well-defined products.(19) For references, see R.
