Abstract

Abstract: Photoexcitation of the enolate anion of deoxybenzoin (4) induces geomeric isomerization, as evidenced by ground state bleaching and formation of a metastable isomer. In aerated THF, the enolate of a, a-diphenylacetophenone 5 reacts by electron transfer to the excited triplet state of its thermal autoxidation product benzophenone. The calculated geometries of 4 and 5 (AM-1) correlate well with those found by solution and ...
