Abstract
The photoaddition of 5‐fluoro‐4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐cyclopentenone (4) to 2,3‐dimethyl‐2‐butene leads specifically (in cyclohexane) and selectively (in acetonitrile) to the formation of the oxetanes 16. The title compound is compared in its behaviour to the analogous 6‐fluoro‐4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenone (1) and both α'‐fluoro‐4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐cycloalkenones in turn are compared to the corresponding 2‐cycloalkenones (6 and 3) and 4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐cycloalkenones (5 and 2). The quantum yield for the addition of these enones to 2,3‐dimethyl‐2‐butene and to cyclopentene are discussed.
