Abstract

Cyclopropene photochemistry has been unusual in the rich variety of different types of photochemical transformations encountered. Electronically excited singlet states of cyclopropenes generally react by a-bond cleavage to give products which are explicable in terms of the chemistry of vinylcarbenes, while triplet states generated by sensitization techniques give high yields of dimer^.^ Photophysical studies including quantum yield ...
