Photolysis of 3-bromochroman-4-ones (1a-f) leads to debrominated chromanones (2a-f) and chromones (3a-f) as major products. Their formation is accounted for in terms of primary cleavage of the carbon halogen bond to give α-carbonyl radicals (I) and/or cations (II). In the case of the 2,2-disubstituted compounds (1d-f), intermediates (II) undergo rearrangement with 1,2-shift of the phenyl or benzyl substituent prior to deprotonation. Minor by-products are the pentacyclic pyrone (4e) or 2-methylchromone (3a) (starting from 1e and 1f, respectively).
