The photo-Nazarov cyclisation of 1-cyclohexenyl-phenyl-methanone revisited

Add time:08/11/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Trans-1-cyclohexenyl-phenyl-methanone (2) and enol 4, both key intermediates in the title reaction, react with each other in a Michael-type addition to form predominantly enol 10. This enol, kinetically stable but too reactive to be isolated, reveals its presence in the irradiated solutions by formation of the isomeric ketone 11 on acid catalysis, and by formation of the oxidation product 9 on exposure to atmospheric oxygen. In the absence of acid, formation of 10 competes significantly with the title reaction of cis-1-cyclohexenyl-phenyl-methanone (1). In a secondary photoreaction of 10, 1,6-hydrogen abstraction by the excited carbonyl group and cyclisation afford 13 and 14. Enols 4, 10, and 13, in striking contrast to enol ethers and to thermodynamically stable enols, are unstable towards atmospheric oxygen. Thus, 4 autoxidises to form five compounds (Ox-1 through Ox-5), 10 to form 9, and 13 to form 15.
