Abstract
It has been reported that benzaldehydes (6) and allylic hydroperoxides (1 3) are obtained in photosensitized oxygenation of β-methylstyrenes (1) and that dioxetanes (1 2) and 1,2-dioxenes (2) are the possible intermediates of (6). Thorough reinvestigation on singlet oxygenation of (1), however, has clearly shown that 1,4-cycloaddition predominates over 1,2-cycloaddition and the ene-reaction.
