Abstract

Direct irradiation of 1, 1, 2-triarylcyclopropanes in alcohol resulted in the formation of all possible products arising from trimethylene biradicals, while DCB-sensitized irradiation gave a novel” anti-Markownikoff “addition product of alcohol almost exclusively. In order to get insight into the nature and fate of intermediates in the reactions, the effects of nucelophiles and aryl substituents are examined.
