Synthesis of tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes and their application in photoinduced electron transfer chemistry.
The synthesis of new tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes is reported. These compounds were prepared in good yields from the ketones via a two step Peterson olefination. Under conditions of photoinduced electron transfer some tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes show interesting skeleton rearrangements.
