Reaction of 4-methyl-4-tribromomethylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one with zinc metal

4-Methyl-4-tribromomethylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one reacts with zinc dust in absolute DMF to give a mixture of 4-bromo-5-methylcyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one, 4-methyl-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one, and 4-dibromomethyl-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one.

Reductive transformation of α β-epoxy ketones and other compounds promoted through photoinduced electron transfer processes with 1,3-dimethyl- 2-phenylbenzimidazoline (DMPBI)

Photoreactions of epoxy ketones, aromatic ketones, haloketones, and aromatic halides with 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoline (DMPBI) were studied. Photoinduced single-electron transfer from DMPBI to such substrates initiates the reactions, followed by radical rearrangement and reduction to finally give several reduced products in modest to good yields.
