Abstract

The photochemical 2+ 2 cycloaddition of ketones and aldehydes to the carbon-carbon double bond of alkenes affording oxetanes is one of the earliest reported organic photochemical The reaction was long neglected, as the product oxetanes seemed to be of little interest or value. However, in the past ten years, this reaction, termed the Paterno-Buchi cycloaddition, has proven to be of considerable synthetic utility. Most of the oxetanes, ...
