Abstract

Our recent investigations in the area of electron-transfer photochemistry have led to the development of preparatively useful photoaddition and-cyclization reactions initiated by electron transfer from donors to iminium salt systems. 2 In general, the key, product-nature- determining step in the mechanistic pathways followed in these processes involves conversion of initially formed, cation radical pair or diradical intermediates to neutral, ...
