摘 要:
The photooxygenation of 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-pentadiene (1) was investigated in seven polar and nonpolar solvents by oxygen-uptake measurements. The overall deactivation rate k_o(= k_r + k_q) was additionally measured in chloroform solutions by singlet-oxygen (~1Δ_G) phosphorescence quenching which showed excellent agreement with the data from the detailed steady-state kinetics. The difference in solvent-polarity effects on the [4 + 2] cycloaddition (major path, leading to the endoperoxide 2) and ene reaction (minor path, leading to the allylic hydroperoxide 3) are explained by competition between a concerted and a perepoxide mechanism. In all solvents the physical quenching of singlet oxygen by 1 is at least as efficient as the chemical quenching. The reaction of the endoperoxide 2 and 3, 3, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1, 2-dioxene 9 with carbonyl compounds in the presence of TMSOTf resulting in the dihydrofuran 8 and the 1, 2, 4-trioxane 10, was also studied.
