Abstract
In Chapter 3 we discussed two photochemical reactions characteristic of simple carbonyl compounds, namely type II cleavage and photoreduction. We saw that photoreduction appears to arise only from carbonyl triplet states, whereas type II cleavage often arises from both the excited singlet and triplet states. Each process was found to occur from discrete biradical intermediates. In this chapter we will discuss two other reactions observed in the photochemistry of carbonyls, type I cleavage and oxetane formation.
