چکیده

Irradiation of dithiane-aldehyde/ketone adducts in the presence of benzophenone leads to C-C bond cleavage regenerating the carbonyl compounds. It is established that the mechanism of this reaction involves photochemically induced single electron transfer from the dithiane moiety to the excited molecule of ET-photosensitizer, accompanied by mesolytic C-C cleavage in the generated cation-radical, which is assisted by the anion-radical of benzophenone. This mechanism is confirmed by a Hammett plot study of the cleavage in the dithiane adducts of substituted aromatic aldehydes and a deuterium kinetic isotope effect study. Ab initio computations at UHF/6-31G* and MP2/631G* levels of theory in conjunction with self-consistent reaction field (self-consistent isodensitypolarized continuum model), to account for the solvent effect, also support the experimental findings. The reaction is most efficient for protection of aromatic aldehydes and ketones and aliphatic ketones, and is a novel method for protecting carbonyl functionalities with a photoremovable group.

Photooxidation of Methyldithiepins into Dithiepin Carboxaldehydes in Carbon Tetrachloride

Methyldihydrodithiepins are converted into the corresponding carboxaldehydes via a simple and efficient oxidation by oxygen in carbon tetrachloride. The reaction is not a radical chain process. The proposed mechanism involves photoinduced electron transfer from the starting dithiepin to solvent (CCl4) followed by a series of events depicted in Scheme 1. The critical feature of the mechanism is ...

Molecular fragmentations induced by oxidative electron transfer present a fascinating theoretical challenge and generate a great deal of interest due to their potential applications. It is well-known, for example, that in vicinal diols, amino alcohols, and amino ethers, C-C bonds weakened by photoinduced electron transfer cleave efficiently and selectively. Mechanistic aspects of this cleavage ...
