Flash-photolytic generation of dienols and dienolates from α,β-unsaturated esters and kinetics of their amine-catalyzed ketonization in nonaqueous media

Abstract

Dienols of α,β-unsaturated esters were generated and observed by flash photolysis and their decay rates in acetonitrile and in hexane solutions were measured in the presence of amines or aminoalcohols. In acetonitrile, 1 ∶ 1 ammonium dienolate transient intermediates were observed. In hexane, no dienolate could be detected and two moles of the inductor participated in the rate-determining step for tautomerization.
