Highly selective formation and ring fission of some cyclobutaquinolizidinones and cyclobutaindolizidinones
Abstract
Intramolecular photochemical cycloaddition in N-alkenoyldihydropydinones or 3-acetyl-N-alkenoyltetrahydropydines is highly diastereoselective and affords substituted Cyclobutaquinolizidinones and cyclobutaindolizidinones, suitable derivatives of which undergo highly regioselective radical ring opening of the cyclobutane ring.
