Upon irradiation at λ = 366 nm, tertiary N-alkoxycarbonyl- N-aryl-β-enaminones furnished exclusively the trans-hexahydrocarbazol-4-ones by a conrotatory [6π] photocyclization but epimerized on silica to cis-hexahydrocarbazol-4-ones (14 examples, 44-98% yield). The acceptor substitution on the nitrogen atom enhanced the stability of the cyclized products compared to N-alkyl- N-aryl-β-enaminones reported previously. The mechanism of the [6π] photocyclization was investigated by quenching experimen ...[more]
