β¦ Synopsis
We have recently succeeded in preparing a series of spiro[2.5]octa-k,i'-dien-6-ones (1) and find the photochemistry oftheae ccmpowds to differ from that reported (2a-c) for the parent dienone 2 (B-c). Schuster and coworkers report that irradiation (>28&) of an ethereal solution of 2 lmds to intermediate diradlcal z which subsequently reacts with solvent to give 29 $ 2, and 2. To account for phenolz, formed in yields of 6,8-15.8$, a novel hydrogen atom shift was postulated to give rise to quinone methide 2 which, although not detected, was suggested as a precursor to 2.
