would thus be described as ?-fission of a ketone with expulsion of a radical R1. . The carbon atoms of the radical R1. are called the ?-, ?-, ?-carbons, starting with the atom nearest the functional group.

(Recommendations 1991)) on page 1558 (in photochemistry) Homolytic cleavage of a bond connecting an atom or group to an excited chromophore. Often applied to a bond connected to a carbonyl group, in which case it is called a Norrish type I photoreaction. Note: This reaction should be distinguished from an alpha-(?-)elimination.
