Oxidative free-radical cyclizations of unsaturated 2-cyclohexenones 9a, 9b, 17, and 24 with Mn(OAc)3 afford unsaturated α'-keto radicals such as 10 that cyclize to afford bicyclic products. The major process with 2-cyclohexenone 27 is conjugate addition of acetate to form β-acetoxy α-keto radical 37. Unsaturated aldehydes 45,57a, and 57b are oxidized to radicals that cyclize to give cyclopentane- and cyclohexanecarboxaldehydes.

Irradiation of 3-acetoxy-2-pent-4-enylcyclohex-2-enone (12) leads to the tricyclic adduct (18), in high yield (>95percent), which on hydrolytic cleavage in ethanolic potassium hydroxide gives rise to bicycloundecane-2,6-dione (20).In contrast, irradiation of the isomeric enol acetate, 3-acetoxy-4-pent-4-enylcyclohex-2-enone (17) led to the two photoadducts (25) and (26) resulting from intramolecular photocycloaddition, and to the trione (24) produced via photo-Fries rearrangement of (17); the formation of (25) and (26) followed from the structures (29) and (27) produced after saponification-retroaldolisation of mixtures containing (25) and (26).Irradiation of the 6-phenyl substituted enol ester (16) gave rise to only the photo-Fries rearrangement product (24).Irradiation of 1-acetoxy-2-pent-4-enylcyclopentene (39) led (93percent) to a 2:3 mixture of the photoadducts (41) and (42) whose structures followed from X-ray measurements.The corresponding cyclohexene (45), instead produced the product (46) of photo-Fries rearrangement on irradiation.Hydrolytic cleavage of (41) in KOH-EtOH leads to the bicyclodecanone (47), whereas similar treatment of (42) instead gave directly the aldol (49) by way of the transient retro-aldol intermediate (48).
