Since the pioneering work of Ciamican and Paterno [1][2], the photochemistry of ketones has been intensively studied [3][4][5][6]. One important chemical pathway for the deactivation of ketones
from the electronically excited states is photoinducedH-abstraction [7]. Intermolecular photoinducedH-abstraction leads principally to the reduction of the ketone [8][9][10][11][12], whereas intramolecular H-abstraction [13][14] leads to cyclization [15][16][17] or fragmentation, the so called Norish
