Ionic Pathways in the Photochemistry of Cyclic Sulfite Esters. (19th July 2016) - White, Rick C.
Abstract : The photochemistry of cyclic carbonate esters proceeds by thephotochemical extrusion ofcarbon dioxide to give 1, 3‐diradicals which produce oxiranes as well as other radical derived species. The corresponding cyclic sulfite esters, upon irradiation, give intermediates that are trapped by alcohols yet generate no oxiranes. These results are consistent with ionic intermediates. Abstract :
