Bond breaking on phosphites with laser!
« on: September 02, 2011, 09:34:09 AM »
Hey,

I am working with phosphites. The point is that I was wondering about the reason that you can break the bond between oxygen and a methylene group applying laser at 335nm. Why make this bond sensitive to light?

Thanks!

What is the structure of your phosphite? It seems unlikely that you generate a -----CH2. radical?
