Abstract
1,3-Dioxin-4-one photosubstrates were prepared by condensation of alkenones with ketoesters or formyl Meldrum's Acid. The resulting dioxinones contained enone and alkene chromophores, linked through the ketal carbon of the dioxinone ring. The dioxinones were irradiated and die regiochemistry of the photoproducts was established. Substrates with a two carbon tether gave head to head products, while substrates with a three or four carbon tether gave predominantly head to tail products.
