Photolyses of 9-diazo-1-fluorenylmethanol (22) in benzene or MeCN afford ≤95% of fluorene-1-carbaldehyde (14). In methanol, 14 and 9-methoxy-1-fluorenylmethanol (24) are formed competitively from 22. Intramolecular hydrogen transfer of triplet 1-(hydroxymethyl)-9-fluorenylidene (12) appears to be the major reaction path leading to 14. The photoenol 13 is suggested as an intermediate.
