Photolysis of 1,1-Diphenylsilacyclohexanone in Diethyl Fumarate. The Trapping of a Siloxycarbene by an Electron-Deficient Olefin

Abstract

Photolysis of diphenylsilacyclohexanone in diethyl fumarate yields a product shown to be the cyclopropane resulting from trapping of a siloxycarbene by the alkene.
