Abstract

Abstract Photolysis of chromium-carbene complexes 1 in the presence of olefins and dienes yields cyclobutanones 4 and 5 with varying stereoselectivity. Under oxidative conditions lactones 6, 7, 8, and 10 are obtained as byproducts. Thermal reactions of ketenes 3 with olefins and dienes yield the same cyclobutanones with usually equal selectivities. In the case of 2, 3-dihydro-1, 4-dioxin as olefin, diene 9 is obtained as a byproduct. ...
