Photolysis of oe-chloro-o-methylacetophenones yields 1-indanones. The mechanism has been studied by laser flash photolysis (Netto-Ferreira, J. C. Scaiano, J. C., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1991, 113, 5800). Develop a Dauben-Salem-Turro state correlation diagram for the photochemical step and, on the basis of your diagram, discuss the efficiency of the reaction on the singlet and triplet manifold. Do the experimental results agree with your analysis ...
