Abstract

The cyclic derivative (13)(lg) was obtained when photolysis was carried out withpinacol. Howewer the use of ethylene glycol allowed us to caracterize monoaddition product (14) which is slowly converted to dioxaphospholane (l5)(20). Note that the rate enhancementof the reaction (14) to (15) is temperature sensitive.--
