Abstract
Photocyclization reactions were carried out on ethyl 2-(8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthyloxy)acetates 1a-e and ethyl 2-(5-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-4-yloxy)acetates 2a-e in acetonitrile. Irradiation of 1a-e gave naphtho[1,8-bc]furanols 3a-e and naphtho[1,8-bc]furans 4a-e in 33–83% yields and ethyl acrylates 5b-d were produced in 3–25% yields during irradiation of 1b-d. On the other hand, 2a-e afforded cyclohepta[ad|benzofuranols 6a-e and cyclohepta[ad]benzofurans 7a-e in 44–87% yields. Ethyl acrylates 8b-d were also produced in 7–43% yields from irradiation of 2b-d. Substituent effects on photocyclization and reaction pathways are discussed.
Photocyclization of ethyl 2-(8-Oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthyloxy)acetates in acetonitrile leads to the synthesis of naphtho[1,8-bc]-furans and
