Comparison of photoenolization and alcohol release from alkyl-substituted benzoyl benzoic esters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Photolysis of 1B in argon-saturated solutions yields 4B and releases methanol. Laser flash photolysis of 1B shows formation of biradical 2B, which has a lifetime of ~50 ns and a λ max at 330 nm. Biradical 2B undergoes an intersystem crossing to form photoenols E-3B and Z-3B with a λ max at 390 nm. Laser flash photolysis shows that the lifetimes of E-3B and Z-3B are affected by the solvent. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the transition-state barrier for a 1,5-H atom shift from Z-3B to regenerate 1B is affected by the ortho-alkyl substituents, whereas the stereoelectronics of the alkyl substituent affect the transition-state barrier of E-3B as it undergoes electrocyclic ring closure to form 4B. The photoreactivity of 1B was compared with its analogous methyl and isopropyl derivatives 1A and 1C, respectively, to better estimate the effect of the alkyl substituent on reactivity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
