Abstract

Using model (R)-2-acetyl-2-phenyl acetate esters of (S)-or (R)-α-substituted-p- hydroxybutyrophenones (S, R)-12a and (R, R)-12b, we have shown that a highly efficient photo-Favorskii rearrangement proceeds through a series of intermediates to form racemic rearrangement products. The stereogenic methine on the photoproduct, rac-2-(p- hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid (rac-9), is formed by closure of a phenoxy-allyloxy ...
