Abstract

We report here a new four-carbon annelation sequence which utilizes the [2+ 21 photochemical cycloaddition of 2, 2, 6-trimethyl-1, 3-dioxolenone (1) to alkenes as the key carbon-carbon bond-forming step. Subsequent mild reduction of the cyclobutane photoproducts followed by aldol cyclization provides remarkably easy access to a variety of cyclohexenones. Compound 1, prepared in high yield from diketene and acetone by the ...
