9,10-DICYANOANTHRACENE-SENSITIZED TWO-ELECTRON OXIDATION OF PHENYLCYCLOPROPANE AND AROMATIC OLEFINS IN THE PRESENCE OF COPPER(II) ION
The photooxidation of phenylcyclopropane, styrene, and indene using 9,10-dicyanoanthracene-Cu(BF4)2 sensitizer system in acetonitrile-alcohol(3:1) solutions affords the corresponding 1,3-dialkoxy and 1,2-dialkoxy compounds.
