Hip to be square: Styrenes participate in [2+2] cycloadditions upon irradiation with visible light in the presence of an iridium(III) polypyridyl complex. In contrast to previous reports of visible light photoredox catalysis, the mechanism of this process involves photosensitization by energy transfer and not electron transfer.
Synthesis, Fe(II)-induced degradation, and antimalarial activities of 1,5-diaryl-6,7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes: direct evidence for nucleophilic O-1,2-aryl shifts
1,5-Diaryt-6.7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes 1a-d (1a: Ar=p-FC6H4, 1b: Ar=Ph. 1e: Ar=p-MeC6H4. 1d: Ar=pMeOC(6)H(4)) were prepared by a modified method of photo-electron transfer oxygenation. and the reactions of 1 with FeBr2 were investigated under various conditions. The Fe(Il)-induced degradation of 1 afforded various rearrangement products and fragmentation products through competitive single electron transfer (SET) and Lewis acid pathways. Direct evidence for the O-1,2-aryl shift was obtained by the isolation of rearrangement products. 1-aryloxy-5-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes 8. The degradation mechanism was proposed and the in vitro antimalarial activities were also evaluated. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Electron-transfer induced intramolecular [2 + 2] cyloaddition of 2,6-diarylhepta-1,6-dienes
Intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 2,6-diaryl-1.6-heptadienes 1a-c to bicycloheptanes 2 can be induced by electron-transfer photosensitization with 9,10-dicyanoanthracene. A stepwise mechanism involving cyclic 1,4-cation radical 3 has been proposed based on the trapping experiments.
