Abstract
A facile stereoselective construction of functionalized medium-sized carbocycles and a diquinane from bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones is reported. The key step is the hypervalent iodine mediated photochemical ring opening of tricyclic hemiketals, formed by dihydroxylation of methylene-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one and methylene-bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-one, to afford eight- and seven-membered carbocyclic rings, respectively. Subsequent transformation of the cyclooctane into a diquinane was achieved using LDA. The reaction was also extended to the synthesis of a fused bicylic system.

All new compounds were thoroughly characterized by IR, 1H NMR (including COSY and NOESY wherever required), 13C NMR and HRMS.
9Typical Experimental Procedure for Photochemical Ring Cleavage: To a solution of protected hemi-ketal 6 (295 mg, 0.72 mmol) in anhyd cyclohexane (85 mL) under argon, were added PhI(OAc)2 (396 mg, 1.29 mmol) and I2 (312 mg, 1.29 mmol) at once and the resulting reaction mixture was irradiated with one 100 W tungsten filament lamp (internal temperature 43 °C) for 1 h, after which the reaction mixture was poured into a 1:1 mixture of Et2O and aq NaHSO3 solution. The organic layer was separated, washed with NaHSO3 solution, dried over anhyd MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Column chromatography over silica gel using petroleum ether and EtOAc (9:1) afforded the two regiomers, 10 and 11, in a ratio of 5:1 in an overall yield of 61%.
