19. The formation of these types of products in BP-photosensitized transformation of diazo compounds has not been previously reported. The structure of 5b was assigned by comparison with 5a, which has been synthesized (in a 55% yield) by Pd(II)-mediated cyclization of 1a (Taber, D. F.; Amedio, J. C., Jr.; Sherrill, R. G. J. Org. Chem. 1986, 51, 3382). No similar studies have been done for 1b,c.
