From the first adduct, a C20H24 diene with C2v symmetry was obtained by Zn/AcOH reduction, hydrolysis, oxidative decarboxylation and selective hydrogenation. Photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition of this diene gave a thermally unstable cyclobutane derivative, which reverts to the diene. However, both diene and cyclobutane derivatives could be identified by X-ray diffraction analysis upon irradiation of the diene crystal. New six-membered rings are formed upon transannular addition of bromine or iodine to the diene. The N-type selectivity of the addition was examined by theoretical calculations which revealed the distinct susceptibility of the doubly bonded carbon atoms to the bromine attack.29 p.application/pdfeng(c) Wiley-VCH, 2015Reaccions químiquesFotoquímicaDifusió de raigs XChemical reactionsPhotochemistryX-ray scatteringinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6533012020-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
