Abstract

The photochemical reactions of enaminoketonatoboron difluorides 1 with trans-stilbene gives cyclobutanes 2 and ... The photochemical cycloaddition of 1,3-diketones (from their enols) with olefins has been generally known as the de Mayo reaction. 1 These photoadducts are versatile intermediates that can be useful in natural products synthesis.2-6 However, the photoreaction of a corresponding carbonyl compound con- taining an a-enamine group has not been ...
