An iron‐catalyzedcoupling reaction of O‐acyloximes and O‐benzoyl amidoximes with silyl enol ethers is reported. The protocol provides access to functionalized pyrroles, 1,6‐ketonitriles, pyrrolines and imidazolines via carbon‐centered radicals generated from an initially formed iminyl radical. The intramolecular cyclization and ring‐opening processes of the iminyl radical take place preferentially

Compounds of the formula I, II, III, IV or V ##STR1## in which Ar, X, Y, Y', R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 and R.sup.1' to R.sup.5' are as defined in claim 1, can be used as photoinitiators for the photopolymerization of unsaturated compounds. They can be prepared by a Diels-Alder reaction and/or a Grignard reaction.
Two stereoisomeric ketones, endo- and exo-(2-hydroxy-[2.2.2]bicyclo-5-en-1-yl)-phenyl methanone (endo-2 and exo-2) were synthesized via a Lewis acid catalyzed DielsâAlder reaction. Both compounds were tested in terms of their efficiency as photoinitiators for radical polymerization. Whereas the exo isomer serves as a good photoinitiator, the curing efficiency is poor in the case of the endo derivative. CIDNP investigations and product analysis by NMR and GC-MS together with density functional calculations reveal the distinctly different reaction pathways of the two isomers. On one hand, exo-2 undergoes α-cleavage from the triplet excited state forming a radical pair that is able to induce polymerizations. On the other hand, endo-2 cyclizes in a PaternòâBüchi reaction yielding a tetracyclic product 11 and no formation of radicals is observed.
