Abstract
The enols of 1,2-cyclohexanediones have been found to undergo a photosensitized oxygenation in methanol to afford 5-oxoalkanoic acids and methyl 5-carboxyl-2-hydroxypentanoates with liberation of carbon monoxide with a remarkable temperature dependency of the product distribution, which is best accounted for in terms of trapping of a five-membered endoperoxide intermediate by methanol.
