[2+2]-Photocycloadditions of 1,4-Naphthoquinone Under Batch and Continuous-Flow Conditions
A series of [2+2]-photocycloadditions of 1,4-naphthoquinone with various alkenes and diphenylacetylene were investigated under batch and continuous-flow conditions. Acetone-sensitization furnished the corresponding photoadducts in good to excellent yields and purities. Compared to batch operations t...

description | A series of [2+2]-photocycloadditions of 1,4-naphthoquinone with various alkenes and diphenylacetylene were investigated under batch and continuous-flow conditions. Acetone-sensitization furnished the corresponding photoadducts in good to excellent yields and purities. Compared to batch operations that demanded exhaustive irradiation times of 10–13 h, the flow process generally gave superior conversions and subsequently yields with a residence time of just 60 min. The structures of several photoaddition products were further determined by crystal structure analysis. |
