Abstract

VINCENZO MALATESTA, MICHAEL JENNINGS, and PETER HACKEIT. Can. J. Chem. 61, 366 (1983). Irradiation at 300 nm of cycloalkanones in methanol gives the corresponding ketals in good yields. The results indicate that an excited state of the cycloalkanone is responsible for the facile addition of methanol to the carbonyl group. ... V~NCENZ~ MALATESTA, MICHAEL JENNINGS et PETER HACKEIT.
