Paternò-Büchi reaction between furan and heterocyclic aldehydes: oxetane formation vs. metathesis.

Photochem. Photobiol. Sci. 9(8) , 1134-8, (2010)

The photochemical reaction of 2-substituted heterocyclic aldehydes with furan gave the corresponding exo oxetane derivatives through the excited triplet state. However, in situ the oxetane derivatives were converted through a metathesis reaction into the corr...
