We describe a photochemical reaction using two starting materials, a cyclopent-2-enone and an alkene, which are transformed in a controlled manner via the initial [2+2]-photocycloaddition adducts into cyclobutene aldehydes (conveniently trapped as stable acetals) or unprecedented angular tricyclic 4:4:4 oxetane-containing skeletons. These compounds are formed through tandem or triple cascade photochemical reaction processes, respectively. Small libraries of each compound class were prepared, thus suggesting that this photochemistry approach opens new opportunities for synthesis design and for widening molecular diversity.

1,3-Disubstituted tetrabutyldistannoxanes catalyze acetilization of carbonyl compounds under mild conditions. Thorough investigations of factors influencing this reaction are given. A variety of synthetically useful carbonyl compounds are efficiently converted to acetals. In particular, acetilization of cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones is readily achieved which have met with only limited success so far.
