Abstract

Abstract Ultraviolet irradiation of the aldehydes 6–11 in degassed solutions results exclusively in decarbonylation to the major products 34, 35 and 37–40, and to small amounts of 2, 3-diphenyl-2, 3-dimethyl-butanes 36 from the phenyl aldehydes 6 and 7. In the presence of tri-n-butylstannane, incorporation of stannane hydrogen competes, to substrate- specific limits, with the intramolecular deuterium transfer in 7 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] 35 ...
