Photochemical Preparation of Highly Functionalized 1-Indanones
摘要:
A series of o-alkylphenyl alkyl ketones I were synthesized by different methods. The presence of a leaving group X adjacent to the carbonyl group is the special peculiarity of these ketones. Upon irradiation the keto carbonyl group of these compounds undergoes an n-pi* excitation followed by a 1,5-hydrogen migration from the o-alkyl substituent to the carbonyl oxygen atom. The thus formed 1,4-diradicals are subject to a very rapid elimination of acid HX, giving 1,5-diradicals. We called this process spin center shift. After intersystem crossing these diradicals cyclize to 1-indanones 20 in good yields. Depending on the solvent and on substituents, o-alkoxyalkyl ketones 22 or benzo[c]furanes 21 are obtained as byproducts. The mechanism of the cyclization was elucidated by quantum chemical calculations and kinetic measurements.

corresponding α-acetoxy ketones throughgold-catalyzedintermolecular oxidation in the presence of 8-methylquinoline 1-oxide as the oxidant. The reaction probably proceeds through an α-oxo gold carbene intermolecular O–H insertion. A variety of terminal alkynes were efficiently converted into the corresponding α-acetoxy ketones throughgold-catalyzedintermolecular oxidation in the presence of 8-methylquinoline
