Abstract
The photochemical cis-trans isomerization of cis- and trans-1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropanes sensitized by 9,10-dicyanoanthracene in aerated acetonitrile solutions proceeds via a chain process in which a cation radical produced from the cyclopropanes is involved as a chain carrier. The quantum yield for this photoisomerization is remarkably enhanced by the addition of air and phenanthrene.
