A novel one-step photochemical method for synthesizing spiro-gamma-butyrolactone derivatives from 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones is presented, involving a cascade process of initial photoinduced ring contraction and intramolecular cyclization. A distinctive feature of the method is the intramolecular trapping of an unstable alpha-hydroxydiketone intermediate formed in situ. X-ray diffraction was used to determine the structures of the synthesized compounds.
We elaborate a novel one-step photochemical method for the synthesis of spiro-gamma-butyrolactone derivatives from 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones. The suggested approach is based on a cascade process including initial photoinduced contraction of 4-pyranone ring followed by intramolecular cyclization leading to the final spiro system. A distinctive feature of the proposed method is intramolecular trapping of unstable alpha-hydroxydiketone intermediate formed in situ as a result of a photochemical reaction. The structures of two synthesized 1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-8-ene-2,6,7-triones were determined by X-ray diffraction.
