โฆ Synopsis
2'-Alkylthio ethyl phenylglyoxylates (1) and 2'-dimethylamino ethyl phenylglyoxylate (10) were synthesized and their photochemistry studied. In contrast to their oxygen analogs 3, which give normal Norrish type H cleavage products, the title compounds undergo intermolecular electron transfer from the heteroatom (sulfur/nitrogen) to the excited carbonyl group, followed by proton transfer and subsequent closing of the resulting biradicals to produce seven-membered (2 )/five-membered (11) lactones in high yield Thiadialkyl phenylglyoxylates (9) react inefficiently due to intramolecular self-quenching of phenylglyoxylate chromophores. The photoreactivity of a-oxothioester ( 14) was compared with that of its nitrogen (a-oxoamide) and oxygen (phenylglyoxylate) counterparts.
