Abstract
The photochemical behavior of methyl-substituted aromatic γ,δ-epoxy ketones was investigated by irradiation with a 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp in benzene which led to the formation of 4-methyleneisochromanols through δ-hydrogen abstraction–epoxy rearrangement–1,5-biradical cyclization reactions.

- 7 Typical Experimental Procedure for the γ,δ-Epoxy Ketone 3 and Isochromanol 4 To round-bottomed flask was added olefin 7 (0.2 mmol), acetone (2 mL), H2O (1 mL), MeCN (1 mL), NaHCO3 (2 mmol), 18-crown-6 (0.002 mmol), the mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and Oxone (0.6 mmol) was dissolved in H2O and added slowly. After addition, the reaction was stirred at the same temperature until no starting material could be detected by TLC. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, the combined organic phase was washed with sat. NaHCO3, brine, and dried over Na2SO4, then quickly purified through a neutral Al2O3 gel column (PE–EtOAc) to give 3, which is unstable, refrigerated storage. The γ,δ-epoxy ketone 3 (0.1 mmol) in anhydrous benzene (10 mL) was treated with N2 for 10 min in darkness, and then irradiated by a 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp with condensate until no starting material could be detected by TLC. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE–EtOAc) to give the desired product 4. 1-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-4-methyleneisochroman-3-ol (4k) Colorless oil.
