Abstract
The photolysis of cis- and trans-2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone in methanol–benzene leading via the triplet state to the ester (E) and aldehydes (A) is shown by kinetic analysis probably to proceed through a common discrete biradical (R) which is also responsible for the photoepimerisation: quantitative data bearing on the fate of the biradical are provided.Keywords
