Abstract

To investigate the photochemical electron transfer from aromatic olefins to copper (II) or iron (III) ions, a series of substituted styrenes (1) was irradiated in the presence of copper (II) or iron (III) salts in methanol, which gave dimethoxylated monomers (2) and one or more of three types of dimethoxylated dimers [α, α-(3), α, β-(4), and β, β,-dimers (5)]. The formation of these products are reasonably attributed to the participation of the cation radicals of the ...
