Abstract

The photochemistry of 3, 5-dimethoxybenzyl compounds with the leaving groups acetate (1a), chloride (1b), bromide (1c), iodide (1d), diethyl phosphate (1e), and trimethylamine (1f), as the chloride, was examined by both product studies and flash photolysis. The isomeric triene, 5-methylene-1, 3-cyclohexadiene derivative was observed for the acetate (2a), diethyl phosphate (2e) and trimethylammonium chloride (2f). The solvolysis of these ...
