Article Abstract
The Norrish-Yang reaction, as a typical example, demonstrates the inherent ability of photochemical reaction to facilitate formation of sterically congested C-C bonds, efficiently crafting intricate ring structure in complex organic molecules. Herein we report for the first time a unified synthesis using quinone-based acid-promoted Norrish-Yang photocyclization for the stereoselective construction of multiple avarane-type meroterpenoid natural products.

Norrish-Yang cyclization reactions have attracted much attention in synthetic organic chemistry due to their ability to activate and functionalize inactive CH positions. In this study, we report that the diastereoselective course of the Norrish-Yang reaction of imidazolidinone derivatives is reversed by the addition of tetrabutylammonium salts (TBAX). H NMR experiments suggested that cation-π interactions between TBA and the substrate control the reactive conformation of this latter species.

A Norrish-Yang photocyclization reaction has been applied to regio- and stereoselective construction of the ABCDE pentacyclic motif of natural product phainanoids. The observed substrate conformation control implicates this powerful reaction could be applied to the construction of structurally diverse natural product scaffolds.

α-Aminoacetophenones are identified as promising building blocks for the synthesis of highly substituted dioxolanes. The presented strategy is founded on the build and release of molecular strain and achieves a formal transposition of a methyl group. During light irradiation, 3-phenylazetidinols are forged as reaction intermediates, which readily undergo ring opening upon the addition of electron-deficient ketones or boronic acids.
