Influence of electron-donor sensitizers on SET-promoted photochemical reactions of beta,gamma-unsaturated aldehydes

Org Lett. 2004 Jun 24;6(13):2261-4. doi: 10.1021/ol049263e.

Abstract

beta,gamma-Unsaturated aldehydes undergo photochemical oxa-di-pi-methane and decarbonylation reactions using DMN as an electron-donor sensitizer, whereas, using DMA, other photoproducts resulting from proton abstraction by ketyl- and alkene-centered radical-anions are also obtained.
