13C kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for the photoredox-promoted [2 + 2] cycloaddition of enones were determined in homocoupling and heterocoupling examples. The only significant KIEs were observed at the β carbon, indicating that Cβ-Cβ bond formation is irreversible. However, these KIEs were much lower than computational predictions, suggesting that product selectivity is determined in part by a step prior to Cβ-Cβ bond formation. The results are explained as arising from a competition between C-C bond formation and electron exchange between substrate alkenes. This idea is supported by a relatively small substituent effect on substrate selectivity. The possible rates for electron transfer and bond-forming steps are analyzed, and the competition appears plausible, particularly if the mechanism involves a complex between reduced and neutral enone molecules.

The oxidative coupling of ketone enolates and trimethylsilyl enol ethers by means of cupric trifluoromethanesulfonate is described in detail. 1,4-Diketones were effectively prepared by treating lithium enolates with Cu(OTf)2 in i-PrCN. 1,3-Cyclopentanedione derivatives were synthesized through intramolecular coupling of 2,4-pentanedione derivatives.Treatment of trimethylsilyl enol ethers with Cu(OTf)2 in i-PrCN also afforded the corresponding coupling products.
