A novel 1,5-disproportionation reaction has been discovered for 1,4-hydroxy biradicals derived from the photolysis of 9-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl phenyl ketones (1), which undergo mainly Yang cyclization both in solution and the solid state. By applying the solid-state ionic chiral auxiliary method of asymmetric synthesis to the Yang cyclization, enantiomeric excesses as high as 95% were achieved at high reaction conversions. The origin of the reaction selectivity is discussed with the help of X-ray crystallography. In addition, the solid-state photoreaction of ketone 1b was found to occur in a single crystal-to-single crystal fashion.Key words: photochemistry, 1,4-hydroxy biradical, disproportionation, asymmetric induction, ionic chiral auxiliary, single crystal-to-single crystal reaction.

In enantioselective photohydrogenation of aromatic ketones on TiO2, the enantioselectivity is strongly affected by not only chiral reagents but also the crystalline phase, surface structure, and morphology of TiO2.

The electrochemical behavior of 4-trifluoromethylacetophenone (TFMA) has been studied in aqueous (2 ≤ pH ≤ 10), micellar, and ethanolic solutions using polarographic techniques. A slow hydration process of the carbonyl group has been observed by means of polarography and UV–visible spectrophotometry. Besides the well-known pH dependence of the electroreduction of aromatic ketones, C—F bond cleavages concomitant to the ketone reduction occur under electrolysis conditions in alkaline medium (pH = 10) at a very negative potential (−1.7 V), leading to the formation of 4-methylacetophenone, which is reduced at this potential with formation of the carbinol and of symmetrical and dissymmetrical pinacols. Finally, the reduction of TFMA has been performed in the presence of chiral surfactants in order to test their ability to induce an asymmetric induction. Keywords: 4-trifluoromethylacetophenone, 4-methylacetophenone, electroreduction, micellar medium, chiral surfactants, hydration, C—F bond fission.
