The behaviour of 2-methyl-2-trifluoromethyl-3(2H)-furanone (1b) and 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3(2H)-furanone (1c) is compared to that of the parent dimethyl compound 1a for the following light-induced reactions: (a) cyclodimerization, (b) cycloaddition to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, and (c) reductive (RH) addition to 2-propanol.A pronounced acceleration due to the exchange of CH3 against CF3 is observed in this last reaction; the mechanistic aspects are discussed.
