Abstract

An efficient two-step procedure for photooxidative dehydrogenation of drimane and 11-homodrimane compounds containing an 8-en-7-one structural unit into α,α′-dienones was elaborated. The method is based on the transformation of ketones into the respective enol acetates followed by photosensitized oxygenation. Methyl 7-oxo-11-homodrima-5,8-dien-12-oate, 5,6-dehydro-7-ketoisodrimenine, 11-acetoxydrima-5,8-dien-7-one and 11,12-diacetoxydrima-5,8-dien-7-one were prepared in high yields starting from methyl 7-oxo-11-homodrim-8-en-12-oate, 7-oxoisodrimenine, 11-hydroxydrim-8-en-7-one and 11,12-diacetoxydrim-8-en-7-one, respectively.
