Abstract

The scope of the photosensitized (electron transfer) carbon-carbon bond cleavage involving radical cations has been defined for 2-phenylethyl ethers and acetals. The thresholds for reactivity of the monophenylethyl and gem-diphenylethyl derivatives are compared. While the radical cation of methyl 2, 2-diphenylethyl ether (7) cleaves to give ultimately diphenylmethane (2) and dimethoxymethane (8), the radical cation of methyl 2- ...
