Ring Opening of Cyclopropylketones Induced by Photochemical Electron Transfer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00727-P

Depending on the substitution pattern of cyclopropylketones, the photochemically induced electron transfer of tertiary amines to cyclopropylketones leads either to the formation of 3-substituted cycloalkanones or to ring expanded products.
