The photolysis of trans-3,4-dimethylcyclopentanone has been studied in the gas phase, principally at 313 nm. However, a few experiments have also been performed using laser sources at 308 and 325 nm. Additionally, experiments were also carried out using the cis isomer. The major products produced by

β¦ Synopsis
The photolysis of trans-3,4-dimethylcyclopentanone has been investigated in the gas phase at 100Β°C using light of 206 and 193 nm. The photolytic products are propene, 1,2-dimethylcyclobutane, and the butene isomers. Small quantities of 3,4-dimethylpent-4-enal were also detected. Relative yields of these products were determined as a function of the ketone pressure and also of that of added nitrogen. A mechanism for the photochemical decomposition based on that suggested for the photolysis of cyclopentanone using short wavelength radiation, is consistent with the experimental results and is simpler than that required to account for the long wavelength photolysis reported earlier.
