Abstract

We previously examined photochemical reactions of some naturally occurring di-and trienones and their analogs, as well as the effect of complex formation with cyclodextrins on this process [1]. All these ketones had a common structural unit I (Scheme 1), and the main transformation was either carbocyclization (in the presence of cyclodextrin) or cis3trans isomerization (in the absence of cyclodextrin).
