1. Formulate a mechanism for the following reaction
2. The photochemistry of 2-benzoylcyclohexanone and its 2-alkyl derivatives diverges. The unsubstituted compound undergoes ring cleavage, whereas the substituted compounds result in migration of the benzoyl substituent to the 4-position of the ring. Suggest mechanisms for both reactions and account for the effect of the alkyl substituent.
