Abstract
Abstract Several α-mesityl and α-(o-tolyl) acetophenones undergo photocyclization to 2- indanols almost quantitatively when irradiated as crystals, even those that undergo significant competing α-cleavage or 1, 3-aryl shift in solution. The requisite triplet δ-hydrogen abstraction apparently can occur at what appears to be a “bad” geometry. One ketone, α-(o- tolyl) propiophenone, partially rearranges to the β-isomer, which arises from ...
