Abstract

Substituted benzene derived meta photocycloadducts have been shown to undergo a fragmentation/arylation reaction under Heck reaction conditions to give bridged bicyclo[3.2.1] compounds in a highly atom-efficient manner. When an anisole derived meta photocycloadduct is used, a bridgehead ketone is generated. However, if an alkylbenzene derived meta photocycloadduct is used, a bridgehead alkene is formed. This strategy has been used to create novel enol ether and transient allyl silane compounds.
