20. In the present study, since product mixtures could not be analyzed by glpc, small amounts of leakage products would be difficult to detect.
21. Pyridine phototranspositions were originally suggested to occur via Dewar pyridine intermediates. See: Caplain, S.; Lablache-Combier, A. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1969, 1247. Subsequent work showed that Dewar pyridines are only minor intermediates in these reactions. See ref 7.
