Abstract
Photochemical reactions of thiobenzophenone and its 4,4′-dimethoxy derivative in ethereal solutions such as tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether have been studied by means of product analyses and ESR spectroscopy. It was found that the reaction involves quite stable transient free-radicals of the type Ar2CSR. The efficiency of free-radical trapping by diaryl thioketones and the reaction mechanism are discussed.
