Described herein is the CuCl2-catalyzed [4+1] annulation of a variety of propargylamines with N,O-acetals that function as a C1 unit, leading to the production of polysubstituted pyrrole derivatives. Three important features of the N,O-acetal during the [4+1] annulation series via 5-endo-dig cyclization are described: an enolizable substituent adjacent to the central sp3-carbon is required, the central sp3-carbon displays the functions of both an electrophile and a nucleophile, and liberation of the secondary amine smoothly leads to the aromatization. A CuCl2-catalyzed [4+1] annulation of propargylamines with N,O-acetals having an ester, a ketone, and an amide moiety, leading to the facile preparation of polysubstituted pyrrole derivatives is presented. This annulation series was achieved through 5-endo-dig cyclization and subsequent aromatization in one pot.
PHOTOINDUCED ALCOHOLYSIS OF alpha , alpha , alpha -TRIBROMACETOPHENONE TO BENZOYLFORMATE.

Irradiation of p-substituted alpha , alpha , alpha -tribromoacetophenones (1) in O//2-saturated alcohols (MeOH, prim. and sec. alcohols) afforded a new alcoholysis product, benzoylformate (2), in good yield (75-85%) along with benzoate and radical (reduction) products. Sensitization experiments showed that 2 was derived from the triplet excited 1. Formation of 2 as well as the decomposition rate of 1 were greatly accelerated by oxygen, presumably as a result of the involvement of the normally forbidden S//o yields T//1 transition of 1 due to the oxygen-1 charge transfer complex. Independent synthesis and reaction of possible intermediates in the photoalcoholysis of 1 leading to 2 suggested that 2 was formed from spontaneous (dark) reactions of initial photoalcoholysis product, alpha alpha -dibromo- alpha -alkoxyacetophenone.
