(Chemical Equation Presented) The photochemical reactions of a series of triaryl vinyl halides IX in acetic acid and in acetonitrile have been studied using product analysis as a function of the time of irradiation. The quantum efficiencies of formation of the products derived from the photogenerated vinyl cations 1+ depend on the α-aryl substituent, the β-aryl substituent, the leaving group X (= bromide or chloride), and the temperature at which the irradiations are carried out. Hammett correlation or noncorrelation of the α-aryl substituent effects with (excited-state) substituent constants indicates that the ions 1+ are formed directly from the excited states of 1X by heterolytic cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond. Homolytic cleavage, yielding radicals 1?, is a parallel process: the partitioning into ion and radical occurs in the excited state. This conclusion is corroborated by the leaving group effect and the temperature effect. By performing the photochemical reactions of IX in the presence of HOAc and/or NaOAc as well as the labeled common halide ion 82Br - or 36Cl-, the relative reactivities of the cations 1+ toward these nucleophiles were determined. The selectivities follow the Reactivity-Selectivity Principle. The temperature effect data show that the reactions of the cations with the anionic nucleophiles are (de)solvation controlled and their reactions with the neutral nucleophile activation controlled.

Eleven olefins were oxidized with tris(2,4-pentanedionato)manganese(III) at the reflux temperature to give the corresponding 3-acetyl-2-methyl-4,5-dihydrofurans in good yields.The oxidation of 9-benzylidene-9,10-dihydroanthracene under the same reaction conditions did not produce the corresponding dihydrofuran, but 9--9,10-dihydroxyanthracene.When 1,1-diphenylethene was oxidized at room temperature, 3-acetyl-2-hydroperoxy-2-methyl-5,5-diphenyltetrahydrofuran was obtained in a high yield.The effects of the solvent and the additives on the yield of dihydrofuran, the comparable reactivities of other (2,4-pentanedionato)metal complexes, such as Co(III), Cr(III), Fe(III), and Cu(II), and the reaction mechanism are discussed.
