Abstract
Irradiation of 1,2- and 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydrides (5a,b) with alkenes in benzene gave naphthoxepindiones, by insertion of the alkenes into C(=O)–O bond, and oxetanes. The insertion predominated in the reactions of 5a with the alkenes, while the oxetanes were mainly produced in those of 5b.
