Abstract
Abstract: The photochemistry of 3-phenylisocouniaranone (1) is markedly influenced by the tautomeric composition of the lactone in solution. Decarbonylation results from excitation of the keto tautomer using 2537-A light. The transient o-quinone methide formed rapidly reacts with methanol to give o-hydroxybenzhydryl methyl ether (2). On further irradiation, 2 is converted into o-benzylphenol (3) and xanthene (4). Equilibrium concentrations of the ...
