Abstract

When N-chloroacetyl-2,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (3) was irradiated, photocyclization occurred to form a transient cation intermediate (1), which was immediately attacked by a hydroxide ion to yield 11-hydroxy-10-methoxy-4-azabicyclo[5.3.1]undeca-9-ene-3,8-dione (5). Similarly, on irradiation, N-chloroacetyl-2-methoxyphenethylamine (8) gave the same type compound, 11-hydroxy-4-azabicyclo[5.3.1]undeca-9-ene-3,8-dione (9). Mechanistic consideration was also presented.
