Photodecarboxylation of cyanohydrin esters. Models for pyrethroid photodecomposition

, p. 56 - 59 (2007/10/06)
Benzyl esters in which the α position has been substituted with a cyano group give upon irradiation in either methanol or hexane products resulting from photoelimination of carbon dioxide. The relative amount of photoeliminated product formed is dependent upon intermediate free radical stability. The α substituted and unsubstituted esters examined may serve as models for photodecomposition studies of pyrethroid insecticide chemicals in organic solvents.
