The mechanism for the photochemical reactions of o ‐methyl‐benzaldehyde ( 1 ), o ‐methyl‐acetophenone ( 2 ) and o ‐methyl‐benzophenone ( 3 ) in the presence of α‐phenyl‐ N ‐ tert ‐butylnitrone (PBN) to the formation of stable nitroxyl radicals 4–6 is studied. The nitroxyl radical product 6 can also be obtained by the thermolysis of benzocyclobutenol with PBN. Thus, the radical products were derived from a novel and regioselective 4+2 cycloaddition of the photogenerated dienol intermediate with PBN.
