摘要

Irradiation of 2-methyl-2-cycloheptenone (4) or 2-methyl-2-cyclooctenone (6) in methanol gave only the corresponding cis-3-methoxy-2-methylcycloalkanones 5c and 7c, respectively, rationalized as a consequence of syn methanol addition to the trans enones. The isotope effect (CH, OH/CH, OD) for 4 was 2.0, appreciably less than the previously observed value for 2-cycloheptenone, suggesting that the 2-methyl substituent destabilizes the trans ...
