Abstract
While strain seems to play a minor role at most in directing singlet oxygen (1O2) reactions, it does have a profound effect on the secondary rearrangements of allylic hydroperoxides formed in the photosensitized oxidation of small ring systems. The abundance of products formed in the photo-oxidation of alkylidenecyclopropanes and cyclopropenes can be rationalized for the most part on the basis of various "Hock cleavage" processes in which strain is the dominant consideration determining the ordering of migratory aptitudes and product distribution.
