Photoswitchable enediynes: use of cyclopropenone as photocleavable masking group for the enediyne triple bond.
Cyclopropenone , 2,3-benzobicyclo[8.1.0]undec-1(10)-en-4-yn-11-one, is a thermally stable compound showing no signs of decomposition after heating at 84 degrees C for 7 d, UV irradiation of which results in an efficient (Phi(300)= 0.45) and quantitative formation of benzannelated enediyne , which undergoes Bergman cyclization at the above temperature.
