, p. 2585 - 2586 (2007/10/02)
The anti-herpes agent carbocyclic oxetanocin-A (-)-2 has been prepared from the bicyclic ketone 3 via resolution of the bromohydrin 4 (using an enzyme-catalysed trans-esterification reaction) and a photocatalysed rearrangement of the epoxide (+)-6 to the

Photolysis of 2,3-endo-epoxy-7,7-diphenylbicycloheptan-6-one ( 2 ) in methanol gave products ( 4 ), ( 8 ) derived from an oxacarbene intermediate and the products ( 5 ) - ( 7 ), ( 9 ) derived from an initially formed alkenylketene.Photolysis of the

Photolysis of the epoxide (3) or (5) gave the strained lactone (4) in 40 - 50percent yield; the bicyclic lactone (4) gave the functionalised cyclobutane (6) on treatment with acidic methanol, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis.
