Enolacetates of benzocyclanones and chromanones were synthesized and treated with dimethyldioxirane and the asymmetric oxidizing system dimethyldioxirane/chiral, non-racemic Mn(III) salen complex/axial ligand. The latter reagent resulted in the corresponding enantiomerically enriched cyclic α-hydroxy ketones and their acetates in moderate-to-good yields and modest enantioselectivity under mild and neutral conditions from tetralone and chromanone. On the contrary, flavanone provided poor yields due to the competitive C-H insertion at position 2. The use of R,R-Mn(III)salen catalyst induced an S absolute configuration at the position α in the whole series. Springer-Verlag 2004.
Photolysis of cyclic enol esters in the presence or absence of a single electron transfer photosensitizer

The photochemistry of enol esters 1 is dominated by electrocyclic ring opening (1b → 3+4), 1,3-acyl migration (1c,d → 6c,d) and [2 + 2] dimerization (1d → 11). Photosensitization with triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPT) enhances formation of oxidation products (1b → 5,1c,d → 9c,d + 10c,d), presumably through the intermediacy of radical cations 1b-d+.
