Conclusions
-
1.
1H and13C NMR spectroscopy was used to study the photoconversion of methyl n-propyl ketone, methyl benzyl ketone, and methyl adamantyl ketone. The13C and1H CIDNP signs indicated that the polarization arises upon the cleavage of excited ketones in the triplet state.
-
2.
The competition of the radical photodecomposition (Norrish type-I) and “biradical” photodecomposition was studied in the photolysis of methyl n-propyl ketone. The ratio of the probabilities of the two radical pathways (recombination and disproportionation) is 3∶1, while the ratio of the two biradical pathways (photocyclization and Norrish type-II decomposition) is 3∶7.
-
3.
A mechanism was established for the steps in the conversions of the radicals and radical pairs arising in the photolysis of the ketones studied.
