Concept:

The Norris Type I reaction is a chemical reaction used in organic synthesis to convert carbonyl compounds (such as ketones or aldehydes) into various functional groups. It is named after the American chemist Richard A.The Norris Type I reaction is a valuable tool in organic chemistry for functional group transformations. It involves the reaction of a carbonyl compound with a sulfur ylide to yield a product with different functionality.

Explanation:

⇒In Norris Type (I) reaction, 𝛼-clevage occured in the presence of light forming a radical. 𝛼-clevage is followed by fragmentation of cyclopropane ring and releases CO gas in air.

Mechanism:

Conclusion:

Hence, the transformation involves Norris Type (I) reaction and fragmentation of cyclopropyl diradical.
