ChemInform Abstract: Mechanistic Implications of Photoanellation Reaction of 4,4‐Dimethyl‐cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one and Acrylonitrile ‐ Regio and Stereochemistry of the Major Photoadduct by 1H and 13C NMR Spectroscopy.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The major product (III) of the photoreaction results from the head-to-tail cycloaddition with subsequent conversion of the cis-fused isomer into the trans-fused one in basic media. The mechanism is suggested to involve twisted enone in the S0 state. The photoanellation is carried out additionally in several solvents involving SDS micelles.
