Abstract

It had been previously reported that the distribution of products from irradiation of cyclohexenone (CHI in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) required the intermediacy of a triplet excimer intermediate derived from the enone. Reinvestigation of this reaction has given results removing the necessity of postulating such an intermediate. Specifically, the reaction results in the products previously reported, namely cyclohexanone, photodimers ( ...
