Preferred Label : photodecarbonylation;
IUPAC definition : Photoinduced extrusion of carbon monoxide (CO).;
Scope note : another example is the photodecarbonylation of alpha-aryl aldehydes.; typical example is the norrish type i photoreaction, in which, after production of
the diradical upon photoinduced a-cleavage, co is eliminated. this reaction has been
widely exploited for the production of radicals in crystals, as well as for the synthesis
of cyclic compounds.;
