CO, CH3 7 (8%) which generated the diformate and diacetate, respec-tively, provided further characterization. Irradiation of 1 in methanol-tetrahydrofuran (4: 1) at—40 with a high-pressure Hanovia 450-W lamp with a Pyrex filter and separation of the products by preparative silica gel thin layer chromatography yielded eryi/zro-methyl 2, 3-diphenyl-3-methoxypropionate (2), threo-methyl 2, 3-diphenyl-3-methoxypropionate (3), methyl a-phenylcinnamate (4), and diphenylacetylene (5)(Scheme I). Products 4 and 5 were identified by comparison with authentic samples; products 2 and 3 were characterized by spectral data; 2: ir (CC14) 1733 cm-1 (0= 0); nmr (CC14) 6.78 (singlet, 3 H), 6.29 (singlet, 3), 5.40, 6.35 (AB pattern,. 7= 11 Hz, 2 H), 2.92 (broad singlet, 10 H); mass spectrum: very small parent peak (< 0.1%) at 270, base peak 121, exact mass, caled: 270.12557, found: 270.12557±0.00264; uv (methanol) Xmax 252 µ (e 7000); 3: ir (CC14) 1733 cm-1 (C= 0); nmr (CC14) 6.98 (singlet, 3), 6.61 (singlet, 3 H), 5.43, 6.30 (AB pattern, J= 9 Hz, 2 H); mass spectrum: very small parent peak (< 0.1%) at 270, base peak 121, exact mass, caled: 270.12557, found: 270.12557±0.00264; uv (methanol) Xmax 252 µ (e 7150). Upon treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol 2 and 3 were converted into 4. It was determined that under the reaction conditions 4 is photostable and authentic diphenylcyclopropenone decarbonylates quantitatively to diphenylacetylene. Photolysis of 1 in toluene under similar conditions and separation by preparative silica gel thin layer chromatography resulted in isolation of 5 as the major product (Scheme I).In order to determine whether 5 arises from diphenylcyclopropenone, 1 was irradiated at—40 with a mono-chromatic mercury vapor lamp at 4360 A and with a No. 2 Sylvania photoflood, conditions at which authen-tic diphenylcyclopropenone was found to be stable. Using either light source, diphenylcyclopropenone was isolated with no trace of diphenylacetylene (5). Decomposition of 1 in methanolic silver oxide, filtration, and separation by preparative silica gel thin layer chromatography resulted in isolation of methyl a-phenylcinnamate (4), diphenylcyclopropenone (6), and methyl benzoylphenylacetate (7), all identified by com-parison with authentic samples. It was shown that under the reaction conditions, 6 is partially converted into 4 (Scheme I). Methanolic cuprous chloride de-composition of 1 also produced a small amount of 6. In the methanol photolysis, products 2, 3, and 4 appear to arise via a Wolff rearrangement process. That 2 and 3 greatly predominated over 4 suggests their origin
