Abstract: Methyl (α-naphthyl) acrylates bearing an ortho-substituent with a hydrogen atom produce naphthocyclobutenes upon Ir(Fppy)3-mediated photosensitization. This reaction can be described as a carbon analogue of the Norrish-Yang reaction: upon triplet excitation of the acrylate a… read more here.
