Topologically Diverse New Polycyclic Scaffolds via Key Photochemical Steps Andrei G. Kutateladze Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Denver

Strained polycyclic oxetanes generated photochemically from ubiquitous Diels-Alder adducts of simple cyclic dienes and enones undergo spectacular skeletal rearrangements under protolytic ring-opening conditions offering expeditious access to chlorohydrins and other products of unique skeletal topology
