Key Points

The aim is to explore the chemical reactions and intermediates involved in photochemical processes.
Preparation of cyclic carbonate and cyclic sulfite esters
Irradiation of these esters in polar aprotic and protic solvents
Analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
An ionic intermediate was observed in one substrate through photochemical solvolysis.
No intermediate was noted for the other compound, highlighting differences in reactivity.

Implication

The experiment demonstrates photolysis and solvolysis outcomes in cyclic esters, suggesting the impact of solvent polarity.
