Abstract
Photocycloaddition of carbonyl compounds of various triplet energy to 3-acetyl-2(3H)-oxazolone (V) and 3-acetyl-4,5-dimethyl-2(3H)-oxazolone (VI) afforded oxetanes XIII-XX. Other investigated 2(3H)-oxazolones VII-IX gave no oxetanes. The photoreactivity of 2(3H)-oxazolones and the regioselectivity of the photocycloaddition were correlated with the HMO reactivity indices.
