摘要
The solution photochemistry of several ethoxycarbonyl- and ethoxycarbonyl-methoxy-substituted cycloheptatrienes has been investigated. The results have been used to analyse the directional specificity of ring-closure and 1,7-hydrogen migration reactions. This specificity is interpreted in terms of polarisation within the S1 state which undergoes either (a) allowed photochemical reactions to give the observed products directly or (b) isomerisation to a trans, cis, cis-cyclohepatriene which then reacts via allowed ground-state processes. In at least two instances the directional specificity of the ring-closure reaction is wavelength dependent and this is attributed to the differing reactivities of the S1 and S2 states. © 1979.
