III published the artcile< A new twist for Stork-Danheiser products enabled by visible light mediated trans-cyclohexene formation; access to acyclic distal enones>, Related Products of 370878-69-6, the main research area is acyclic distal enone preparation; cycloalkenol ring opening isomerization photocatalyst.
Herein, the use of visible light to indirectly drive ring opening in unstrained 6- and 7-membered ring systems via reaction with a transiently generated trans-cycloalkene was investigated. Identification of conditions that captured visible light energy in the form of ring strain was key to success. Under mildly acidic conditions, cycloalkenols were shown to undergo formally endothermic ring-opening isomerization to give acyclic exo-methylene and distal ketones or aldehydes in high yields. Ultimately, this work demonstrated the ability of cycloalkenes to capture visible light energy and its use to drive both kinetically and thermally unfavorable rearrangements.
