Abstract

AbstractOn irradiation (350 nm) in the presence of alkenes (2,3‐dimethylbut‐2‐ene, 1,1‐dimethoxyethene, and 2,4,4‐trimethylpent‐1‐ene), benzoxepinone 1 and dioxepinone 2 are converted into mixtures of cis‐ and trans‐fused oxabicyclo[5.2.0]nonan‐2‐ones. Their relative thermodynamic stabilities (as reflected by the observed diastereoisomer ratios after equilibration with basic alumina) depend on the substitution pattern of the alkene moiety.
