Abstract
The photolysis of dimethyl (2R*,4R*)-2-bromo-2,4-dimethyl-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)glutarate was examined and reaction paths for ten products are proposed. A homolytic cleavage of the carbon-bromine bond of the substrate occurred first forming a radical intermediate and subsequent reactions yielded the products via decomposition of the intermediate and recombination of secondly formed radical species. Ionic lactonization of the substrate and diastereoisomerization proceeded simultaneously.
