| Abstract: | Abstract UV-irradiation (λ > 313 nm) of o,o-diethyl-o-(3-chloro-4-methyl-coumarin-7-yl)-thiophosphate (Coumaphos; 1) in chloroform results in an regioselective dimerization reaction to afford the head-to-tail anti-dimer 2. The structure of 2 is established by single crystal x-ray diffraction. Singlet oxygen does not affect the formation of 2. |
