Abstract

The photocycloaddition of unsymmetrically substituted alkenes to an aldehyde leads to eight possible isomeric oxetanes. In sharp contrast to most other substrates, silyl enol ethers 1 which bear a vinylic β-substituent favor only a single stereo- and regioisomer 2 as major product of this reaction.
