PHOTOREARRANGEMENT OF 2,3-DIMETHYL-4,5-DIHYDROFURAN AND 2-METHYL-4,5-DIHYDROFURAN

Irradiation of an ether solution of the title compounds with a medium-pressure mercury are gave in each case a rearrangement reaction, with formation of an acetyl cyclopropane isomer as the major product. This reaction is similar to that induced thermally at 450°.
