Jm. Nuss et Mm. Murphy, HIGHLY EFFICIENT PHOTOCHEMICAL-SYNTHESIS OF THE ENEDIYNE FUNCTIONALITY VIA A NORRISH TYPE-II REACTION, Tetrahedron letters, 35(1), 1994, pp. 37-40
A photochemical synthesis of enediynes utilizing the Norrish Type II r
eaction is described. The application of this strategy to the synthesi
s of cyclic and acyclic enediynes from readily available precursors is
discussed.
