Abstract

Results Formamide has been found to undergo acetone and benzophenone-initiated photochemical addition to aliphatic alp-unsaturated esters to yield the derivatives of the corresponding alkylated succinic acids (Scheme I). The reaction product in the case of ethyl cinnamate, while using benzophenone as a sensitizer, was 2-carbamoyl-3, 4, 4-triphenyl-y- butyrolactone, whereas benzal diethyl malonate gave ethyl 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3- ...
