β¦ Synopsis
Irradiation of 1-(o-tolyl)-3,4-benzobicyclo[3.1.0]hexenones (1) in benzene at 365 nm has resulted in clean conversion to 3-(o-tolyl)-1-naphthols (2) via 3-(o-tolyl)-1(2H)-naphthalenones. The reaction is suggested to occur mainly from (n, p*) 3 state with a reaction rate higher than 10 10 s -1 .
