Abstract

Photocleavage reactions of a wide range of ethylene compounds were investigated. Photosensitized oxygenation resulted in formation of their corresponding ketones. On the other hand, photoreaction of these substrates with elemental sulfur yielded the corresponding thioketones. Furthermore, photobehaviour of some ethylene episulfides also was studied. It could be concluded that UV-irradiation provides a rapid and effective ...
