Photoassisted reactions of fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3-(CH2OR) (1, R = H; 2, R = OAc) and fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3-CH2Ph (5) in MeOH provide fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3(OCH3) (3); 2 and 3 have been structurally characterized. Radical paths are indicated for 2 and 5; a nonradical path, involving photoassisted β-hydride elimination from the hydroxymethyl group, is proposed for 1.
