The cyclopropane ring of arylcyclopropanes is oxidatively cleaved by irradiation in polar solvents containing nucleophiles such as alcohols, water, and sodium cyanide in the presence of electron-acceptor such as 1,4-dicyanobenzene and 1-cyanonaphthalene, giving nucleophile-incorporated products.This photoreaction proceeds via an electron-transfer from the cyclopropanes to the excited electron-acceptors, and the cation radicals of arylcyclopropanes are involved as key intermediates.
