24. Photodecarbonylation of diones are unusual reactions. In most instances, dione excited states become electron-transfer acceptors, as in the case of the well-known photoinitiator, camphor quinone. The Strating-Zwanenburg reaction is driven by the stability of the aromatic hydrocarbon. Compelling questions such as the nature of the excited-state involved in photodecarbonylation and the structure of the carbon monoxide fragment(s) (whether monomer or dimer) are under investigation.
