Abstract

Photolysis of the title, compounds results in efficient hydrogen transfer reaction to produce 1.5-biradical intermediate, which does not form in the photolysis of a structurally similar compound, α- (otolyl)isobutyroplienone. From their kinetic studies we have measured the rearrangement rate constant of a substituted oxiranylcarbinyl radical.
