Mechanism of photochemical formation of a cyclic nitrone from the nitrite of a fused five-membered ring alcohol

Abstract
On the basis of the results obtained from a monochromatic light experiment, the photolysis in EPA matrix at 77 K, and the photolysis in solvents such as CCl4, it has been shown that the nitrone (10) is formed in a stereospecific manner by the thermal cyclization of a short-lived intermediate nitroso-aldehyde (5) from a fused cyclopentanol nitrite (2).
