• -f, the ratios of diastereomeric photoproducts have not been changed too much using ultrasound irradiation. In order to explain the results obtained, we have compared the results of the semi-empirical PM3 calculations on the complexes of 1a-f + 2 in the ground state with those of α-epoxyketones 1a-f
