The preferred stereochemical pathways in the di-x-methane rearrangement (the excited state conversion of di-7r-methanes to-cyclopropanes) have been determined, using l-phenyl-3-methyl-3-(lm-propenyl) cyclohex-1-ene (5) as the modeldi--methane system. The major products of direct irradiation were determined to be 1-phenyl-5-methyl-6-eŦífo-(1-c/s-propenyl) bicyclo [3.1. Ojhexane (10) and its 6-endo-trans-propzny\isomer (12) on the basis of degradation and independent synthetic sequences, having the isomeric alcohols, 18 and 19, as key inter-mediates. Photosensitization and quenching studies were undertaken. A novel diagnostic method for determining when one of several products of direct irradiation reactions results from the singlet excited state of reactant is presented and applied to the conversion of 5 to 10 and 12. Our results demonstrate that the c/s-propenyl product, 10, is produced exclusively from the singlet excited state of 5 and that the tra/zs-propenyl isomer, 12, results from trip-let-state reactions. The presently studied di-x-methane rearrangement is contrasted from a mechanistic view-point with other systems and rationale to explain the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of these reactions are presented.
