Abstract
Abstract Ethyl 5-oxo-2-phenyl-2,5-dihydroisoxazole-4-crboxylate(1) has been photolysed at 300 nm in a variety of alcohols and amines. The products suggest two competing photolytic pathways: reversible photoisomerisation to a ketene, and a loss of carbon dioxide to form a singlet imino-carbene.
