Notes:
UV Irradiation of 3-oxocyclopent-1-enyl acetate (17) and acetylene in MeCN at 0° gives, besides the product of normal enone-alkyne [2 + 2] cycloaddition (cis-4-oxobicyclo[3.2.0] hept-6-en-1-yl acetate, 18) and its product of oxa-di-π-methane rearrangement (5-oxotricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]hept-2-yl acetate, 19), unexpected products of further addition of a molar equivalent of acetylene. These are indanone ( = 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one, 16), in 21% yield, cis-1-cisoid-1,2-cis-2- (20) and cis-1-transoid-1,2-cis-2-7-oxotricyclo[4.3.0.02,5]non-3-en-1-yl acetate (21), 4-oxo-7-‘exo’-vinyltricyclo[3.2.0.02,6]hept-2-yl acetate (22), cis-4-oxo-6-‘endo’- (23) and cis-4-oxo-6-‘exo’-vinylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-1-yl acetate (24), and cis-4-oxo-7-‘exo’-vinylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-1-yl acetate (25). At least in part, indanone must be formed via intermediates 20 and 21. In fact, on heating a 9:1 mixture 20/21, indanone is obtained quantitatively. With 3-oxocyclopent-1-ene-1-carbonitrile (15) in place of 17, indanone is formed in lower (8%) yield besides much tars.
