Efficient regioselective oxetane formation during photochemical transformation of spiro[4. n]-2,5-Diones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085951

The irradiation of a variety of spirodiones (3) in the presence of carbonyl compounds led to the formation of oxetanes (6) regioselectively, which upon hydrolysis afforded the corresponding ketoacids (7) in excellent yields.
