Abstract

Single electron transfer induced photocyclization reactions of N-[(ω-trimethylsilylmethoxy)polyoxalkyl]phthalimides have been explored. Photocyclizations occur in methanol in modest to high yield to produce cyclized products in which phthalimide carbonyl carbon is bonded to the ω-carbon of side chain in place of the trimethylsilyl group. The efficient, chemoselective, and regioselective cyclization reactions represent synthetically useful processes for construction of azacrown ethers of various sizes.
