aldehydes undergo an efficient E-stereoselective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmonsolefination by generation of phosphonate carbanion with lithium hydroxide. The reaction proceeds satisfactorily with linear, cyclic, polifunctional ketones in the presence of activated zeolites and and by the slow addition of the base.

Spirocyclic methylenecyclopentenones of general structure 18 were prepared in a single step from bis-acetylenic alcohols 29 by a process involving initial oxy-Cope rearrangement to afford (Z)-enynones 30-Z followed by electrocyclic ring closure. Mechanistic studies indicate that the initial step leading from 30-Z to 18 is a thermal 1,5-prototropic shift to afford dienols which can cyclize by a symmetry-allowed (pi(4)s + sigma(2)s + pi(2)a) process. This last step is catalyzed by certain phenols having low oxidation potentials, most likely by a mechanism involving single electron transfer. Dramatic rate enhancements were also observed for the cyclization of simple enynones 37 to methylenecyclopentenones 39 upon catalysis with either a-tocopherol (vitamin E, 40) or tert-butylcatechol(41). Further enhancements in both rate and yield were obtained under conditions of photoassisted single electron transfer (PET), which afforded 39 in yields of 80-98%.
