The photochemical reaction mechanism has been investigated for methanol insertion into the p-substituted phenylketo carbenes. The triplet spin state of phenyl koto carbene is stabilized by the neighbored carbonyl electrons. When the phenylketo carbene reacts with methanol, the ylied intermediate is formed, then moves to the activated transition state.
