Abstract

9, 10-Dicyanoanthracene-sensitized photo-oxygenation of 2, 2-diaryl-3-(2, 2-diarylvinyl) oxiranes 3 in acetonitrile did not afford the corresponding 1, 2, 4-trioxepines 4, but 1, 2, 4- trioxolanes 7. The structural assignment of 7 was reported, and the mechanism of the formation of 7 was proposed.
