Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4yl)-2-butenol (4e, 200 mg) and methylene blue (2 mg) in acetonitrile (10 ml) and chloroform (10 ml) was photooxygenated at 0° C. for 3 h. 2-dodecanone (0.5 ml) and hydrochloric acid (2 drops) were added and reaction mixture of left at r.t. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was worked up and concentrated. Crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to furnish 100 mg mg (27% yield, based on allylic alcohol, 4e, used) of trioxane 7ed m.p. 86-90° C.
