Several α-mesityl and α-(o-tolyl)acetophenones undergo photocyclization to 2-indanols almost quantitatively when irradiated as crystals, even those that undergo significant competing α-cleavage or 1,3-aryl shift in solution. The requisite triplet δ-hydrogen abstraction apparently can occur at what appears to be a “bad” geometry. One ketone, α-(o-tolyl)propiophenone, partially rearranges to the β-isomer

High diastereoselectivity in the cyclization of 1,5-biradicals: what causes such sizeable steric barriers to biradical coupling?

The high diastereoselectivities observed in the photocyclization of alpha-(o-ethylphenyl)acetophenones appear to reflect conformational equilibria in the triplet 1,5-biradical intermediates rather than steric barriers created during cyclization. The necessary biradical triplet-->singlet intersystem crossing is proposed to occur along the cyclization reaction coordinate since the orthogonality of the two singly-occupied p orbitals does not depress biradical lifetimes.
