Abstract

Results When irradiated in methanol, 2, 5-dimethyl-cw-chloropropiophenone (la) produces products 2a-5a as indicated in Scheme I. When the bulky tert-butyl alcohol is used as a solvent, the products incorporating the solvent (3 and 5) are no longer observed, just as when cyclohexane is used.
