Regioselectivity in the ene reaction of singlet oxygen with ortho-prenylphenol derivatives
Abstract
The ene reaction of singlet oxygen with prenylated dihydroxyacetophenones led to the 2-hydroperoxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl derivatives as the major product. This original regioselectivity outlined a new effect, in competition with the previously established large group non-bonding effect. The oxidation products distribution could be explained by a stabilising interaction between the phenolic hydrogen, ortho to the prenyl side chain, and the perepoxide intermediateSimilar works
