Conclusions
-
1.
The cyclohexadienone carbene that is formed during the photolysis and thermolysis of 2,6-ditert-butyl-p-benzoquinone diazide reacts in the singlet state.
-
2.
The reaction rate of the singlet cyclohexadienone carbene with the substrate exceeds the rate of the singlet-triplet transition even at low temperatures in the presence of an inert diluent.
-
3.
These rates become commensurate in solid solution (matrix).
