under irradiation with a tungsten lamp gave the corresponding chromanderivatives in good to moderate yields. The present reaction proceeds via the initial formation of an alkoxyl radical and the radical cyclization onto the aromatic ring, followed by the oxidation of the formed radical intermediate with DIH to provide the chromanderivative.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of O-heterocycles or aryl ketones has been achieved using Et3SiH in the presence of InCl3 via a sequential ionic hydrogenation reaction by switching the solvent. This methodology can be used to construct C–O bonds and to prepare conjugate reduction products, including chromans, tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, dihydroisobenzofurans, dihydrochalcones, and 1,4-diones

A new photoreaction, the photoisomerization of xanthene (1) to 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran (2) (almost-equal-to 70%) (PHI = 0.0035 in 7:3 H2O-CH3CN) in aqueous CH3CN solution is reported. In addition to 2, 2-benzylphenol (3) (PHI almost-equal-to 0.001), 9,9'-bixanthyl (4) (PHI < 0.001), and 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzyl alcohol (5) (PHI < 0.001) are also observed as minor products. 9-Methylxanthene (9) also photoisomerizes to the corresponding pyran derivative 10, although in this case much lower yields are observed due to secondary photochemistry of 10. The photoisomerization of 1 is most efficient in aqueous solution: PHI increased with increasing water content in a H2O-CH3CN solvent mixture. A mechanism of photoisomerization is proposed that involves initial Ar-O bond homolysis from S1, to generate a singlet biradical. Trivial recombination gives back unreacted 1. Hydrogen abstraction from solvent leads to the photoreduction product 3. However, recombination of the biradical at the ipso benzylic position (ortho to phenol) gives a cyclohexadienone intermediate 17. Subsequent transformation of this species to 2 occurs via an o-quinone methide intermediate 18, which itself can be trapped with MeOH or H2O, to give the corresponding methyl ether derivative 8 or alcohol 5.

The photochemistry of three phenoxybenzyl alcohols (1-3) has been studied in MeOH, CH3CN, and in aqueous solution. It was found that both of the ortho-substituted phenoxybenzyl alcohols 1 and 2 gave the corresponding 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyrans 6 and 10, via a mechanism believed to involve initial aryl C-O bond homolysis followed by rearrangement to give a 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzyl alcohol (biphenyl) derivative, which subsequently undergoes a photocyclization reaction to the corresponding 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran. The quantum yield for formation of 6 (from 1) was 0.0073 in neutral 6:4 H2O-CH3CN. Lower quantum yields for formation of 6 were observed on photolysis in pure organic solvents (PHI = 0.0015 in 100% CH3CN). The meta-substituted isomer 3 did not give any reaction via a similar photocyclization process: its photochemistry involves initial aryl C-O bond homolysis followed by simple radical recoupling to give isomeric hydroxybiphenyls, as well as products derived from radical escape. In aqueous sulfuric acid solution (pH < 2), a competing acid-catalyzed photosolvolysis reaction was observed for all of these compounds (i.e., C-OH bond heterolysis with assistance of hydronium ion); it was the only observed reaction in moderately concentrated sulfuric acid solution.
