Abstract: | The site-specific Norrish II type reaction of the gibberellin oxo ester
, prepared in two steps from tetraacetyl- GA3, anhydride
, to the photolactone
, is reported. By potential energy calculations based on the X-ray analysis of
, it is shown that the regio- and stereoselectivity of the photocyclization can be predicted involving a 9-membered cyclic transition state in the H-abstraction step. The structure of the photolactone was determined by spectroscopic data, especially NOE measurements. |
