Photolysis of Enol Acetates and α-Bromo Derivatives of o-(Acyloxy)acetophenones

UV irradiation of enol acetates 3a-g in benzene gives mainly o-(acetoxy)acetophenones 2 and 2-methylchromones 4. Under the same conditions, the dimethyl derivatives 3h and 3i remain unaffected.The α-bromo ketone 5a gives rise to mixtures of o-(acetoxy)acetophenone (2a), the diketone 6, and/or α-acetoxy-o-hydroxyacetophenone (7), depending on the irradiation conditions.The similarities and differences between the two series of experiments, as well as their possible mechanistic implications, are discussed.
