RESUMO

The photochemistry of 1,1,4-triphenyl-1,4-pentadiene was investigated. Sensitized irradiation of this compound labeled at carbon 3 with 2H led to a degenerate rearrangement wherein the diphenylvinyl moiety migrated 1,3, thus affording diene with 2H substitution at carbon 5. In contrast, direct irradiation of the triphenyl pentadiene led to 1,3,3-triphenylbicyclo[2.1.0]pentane by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition. This multiplicity dependence of the photochemistry is understood on the basis of triplet reactants preferring a linearly conjugated diradical mechanism with a large exchange integral (K) and singlet reactants preferring an electrocyclic mechanism with a small exchange integral.
