Competing photoreduction and photosolvolysis reactions have been observed in the photolysis of a number of epoxides (1-8).Certain epoxides display extreme photobehaviour; photosolvolysis is the exclusive process in 5 and 7 whereas 8 undergoes only photoreduction.A novel photo-Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement occurs in the photosolvolysis of benzonorbornene epoxide (7).Mechanisms involving radical and ionic intermediates are discussed.
