Fused bicyclic pyran-4-ones 2a - F are readily available via one-step annulation with diketene or diketene equivalents. Irradiation of 2b - E in methanol furnished ring-contracted solvent adducts 4 in moderate yields, whereas irradiation in aqueous H2SO4 gave the corresponding glycols 8 and 9. The unusual predominance of cis-fused product 8b appears to result from in situ acid-catalyzed equilibration. Substrate 2f could also be trapped in aqueous acid, and displayed a modest stereoselectivity that may derive from conformational control by the methyl group on the starting material's stereogenic center.
Photochemical ring-contraction of fused bicyclic 4-pyrones: A novel 2-step cyclopentannulation approach

Fused bicyclic 4-pyrones were prepared by condensation of enamines derived from cyclic ketones with diketene or substituted 1,3-dioxin-4-ones. Photolysis in a hydroxylic medium led to bicyclo [n3.0]alkenones bearing oxygenation at both angular positions.
