Abstract

A novel photochemical approach to the kainoid ring system is presented alongside model studies to demonstrate its feasibility.

Key words

kainic acid - photochemistry - cycloadditions - cyclobutanes - natural products

8

A typical Procedure for the Formation of Cyclobutanes 13:
A solution of the freshly distilled dioxinone 5 (7.10 g, 50.0 mmol)and N-trifluoroacetyl-3-pyrroline 12 (16.50 g, 100.0 mmol) in EtOAc (400 mL), under continuous degassing with nitrogen, was irradiated with a 125 W medium pressure mercury lamp. After 72 h TLC analysis indicated full consumption of the dioxinone. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography (50% diethyl ether/petroleum ether eluent), to give two cyclobutane products.
