Abstract
Photolysis of phenol/di- t-butylketone mixtures in cyclohexane afforded phenoxy/ t-butyl radical coupling products. t-Butyl phenyl ethers were the major products, except for 4-methoxyphenol which underwent considerable methoxy substitution. Mechanistically, coupling of phenoxy and alkyl radicals generated in such way could be considered as the intermolecular counterpart of the photo-Claisen rearrangement.
