Abstract: | The α-alkyl β-oxoesters undergo type II photoreactions. The process of back hydrogen transfer in the 1,4-biradical intermediate to revert to the starting ester is suppressed because of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl and carboalkoxyl groups in the biradical intermediate. The hydrogen bonding determines the stereochemistry of 1,4-biradical cyclization. The cyclobutanols having the hydroxyl group cis to the carboalkoxyl group are formed exclusively from the α-alkyl β-oxoesters . The enol form of the type II elimination product, the benzoylacetate , acts as an effective internal filter for the photoreaction of the α-alkyl β-oxoester . |
