Irradiation of a methanolic solution of phenylcyclopropane in the presence of copper(II) ions affords 1,3-dimethoxy-1-phenylpropane and meso- and dl-1,6-dimethoxy-3,4-diphenylhexanes in good yields through the electron-transfer from the excited cyclopropane to Cu(II) ions.
PHOTOINDUCED OXIDATIVE CLEAVAGE OF ARYLCYCLOPROPANES IN THE PRESENCE OF ORGANIC ELECTRON-ACCEPTOR

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.
