Abstract

Results Synthesis of Photochemical Reactants. The syntheses of reactants 1, 2, 3, and 4 are outlined in Scheme I. The procedure of Woodward6 permitted Robinson annulation to proceed smoothly by utilizing the formyl derivative 6. This led to the linear dienone 3, which was of photochemical interest itself. The further conversion of 3 to the desired naphthalenone 1 required the two steps indicated in Scheme I.
