Abstract: Irradiation of ascomycin 1 leads to three reaction pathways: (a) [1,3]-sigmatropic shift of the allylic carbonyl group leading to the ring-contracted products 3 and 4, (b) electron-transfer from the amide nitrogen to the carbonyl group followed by reorganisation leading to a zwitterionic intermediate Z which undergoes either intramolecular cyclisation (leading to. 6 in CH3CN) or addition of methanol (leading to 2 in MeOH), and, (c) decarbonylative fragmentation resulting in the acyclic lactone 5. The effects of solvent, wavelength, and the substrate-srtucture on the product distribution have been examined. Simple transformations of the photoproducts leading to novel derivatives are presented.
