Photoreaction of acyclic and cyclic saturated ketones in methanol in the presence of TiCl4 afforded 1,2-diols as the main products.The effect of the substituents on the stereochemical course of the photoreaction was examined with substituted cyclohexanones.Further, the present reaction was applied for the synthesis of a pheromone, frontalin.
