Dibenzoylmethanatoboron difluoride (DBMBF2), the BF2 complex of dibenzoylmethane, reacted from its singlet excited state with α,β-unsaturated ketones and esters to give 1,5-diketones by a [2+2] cycloaddition and ring-opening sequence in an analogous pathway to that observed in the photocycloaddition to olefins and dienes. The present photoreaction is unexpected since conjugated enones and en-esters are poor electron donors to comply with the previously proposed charge transfer requirement in DBMBF2 photoreactions. The photocycloaddition to these substrates was highly regioselective and stereoselective, giving the head-to-head orientation, which could be enhanced by α-methyl substitution; β-methyl substitution increased the alternate head-to-tail orientation. The photolysis of a mixture of DBMBF2 and a cyclic enone also caused the latter to dimerize to give head-to-head and head-to-tail dimers in significant yields. These photodimerizations were apparently caused by DBMBF2 sensitization. The mechanism of the sensitization is discussed.

The lowest singlet excited state of dibenzoylmethanatoboron difluoride DBMBF2, a model compound of the BF2 complexes of 1,3-diketones, reacted with various simple olefins to give regiospecific and stereospecific photocycloadducts of 1,5-diketones similar to those from the de Mayo type reaction. DBMBF2 in acetonitrile exhibited two discrete fluorescences at 398 and 416 nm for the monomer and at 522 nm for the excimer; they were both quenched, but in different proportions, by a simple olefin. An "oxygen test" showed that the excimer of DBMBF2 is formed irreversibly in acetonitrile. The quantum yields of the photocycloaddition were shown to be proportional not only to olefin concentrations but also to DBMBF2 concentrations. Kinetic analysis has established that the total quantum yield is the sum of those arising from the interactions of the singlet excited DBMBF2 and its excimer, respectively, with an olefin, i.e., the sum of the quantum yields of exciplex and triplex pathways. The contributions from the two pathways are determined by the type of olefins and the range of DBMBF2 concentrations. For endocyclic olefins, the triplex pathway is more important and the corresponding photocycloaddition becomes very efficient as soon as the excimer starts to form in [DBMBF2] > 0.001 M. For the monosubstituted olefins, on the contrary, the exciplex pathway is always more important than the triplex pathway; they react primarily from the singlet excited state of DBMBF2. Key words: singlet state photocycloaddition, irreversible excimer formation, excimer cycloaddition, triplex and exciplex reactions.

Abstract Heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons form hetero-excimers with electron donors. The correlation which exists between the energy corresponding to the complex emission maximum and the redoxpotentials of acceptors and donors shows that charge-transfer interaction is predominant in these hetero-excimers.For some complexes the thermodynamic parameters of complex formation as well as the dipole moments in the excited state are reported.

Dibenzoylmethanatoboron difluoride (DBMBF2) and allied BF2 complexes interact from their singlet excited state with trans-anethole (t-A), quadricyclene (QC), and norbornadiene (NBD) by electron transfer to generate the corresponding cation radicals, which undergo the reported reactions. By sensitization, t-A undergoes dimerization to form the anti head-to-head and syn head-to-head dimers with retention of stereochemistry. The formation is reversible under sensitization conditions, leading to accumulation of the more stable anti isomer. However, irradiation of the absorption band of the DBMBF2 – t-A ground state complex did not lead to dimerization of t-A. By DBMBF2 sensitization, QC is cleanly converted to NBD while NBD is not affected. The calculation shows QC+• possesses higher energy than NBD+• by 7.5 kcal/mol, hence an irreversible rearrangement. Other sensitizers (e.g., cyanoaromatics and tetrachlorobenzoquinone) also promote these cation radical reactions but not as cleanly as DBMBF2. Key words: photosensitization by boron complexes, cation radical rearrangement, cation radical cycloaddition, electron transfer sensitization, photoreaction of ground state complexes.
