The triplet lifetime ( 3 ι = 131 ± 5 ns) of diradical 2 , produced in the laser photolysis (334 nm) of 4‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1‐pentanone ( 1 ) in methanol, was determined by dioxygen trapping. This lifetime agrees well with the value determined by laser flash photolysis ( 3 ι = 97 ns), thereby establishing the reliability of the trapping technique. The trapping product was prepared by independent synthesis and characterized as 3‐hydroxy‐1,2‐dioxolane 9 , the ring tautomer of hydroperoxide 6 .
