Photoreactions of the title compounds nNHPh: Ar = 9-phenanthryl> 1 and 2 (n = 4 and 5) gave ω-alkan-1-ols 7 and 8 and ω-alkan-1-ols 9 and 10, respectively, by the cleavage of the C-O bond, while that of another title compound 3 (n = 6) gave spiro-compounds 17 and 18 with 12- and 14-membered-rings, respectively, as main products.The photoreaction is proposed to proceed via photo-induced intramolecular electron transfer from comparison of the reaction products with those in the photoreaction of ArCH2O3Ph 5 in the presence of N-methylaniline and acetic acid.The structures of spiro-compounds 17, 18, and the acetate of 9 were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
