Thus, experimental exploration of the regio- and stereochemistry is well represented by methyl vinyl ether. Nevertheless, we tried to carry out the reaction with N-vinyl pyrrolidinone to further confirm the mechanism. Unfortunately, although some reaction took place, we found the product to be photoactive and no conclusive data could be obtained from the reaction mixture. Further efforts are currently under way.
