The azomethine ylide forming photoreaction has been explored by probing the excited state chemistry of several N-trimethylsilylmethyl substituted cyclic and acyclic imides and amide analogs. N-[(Trimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-mesylbenzamide (5) undergoes the excited state C to O silyl migration reaction to produce azomethine ylide intermediate 13. This ylide undergoes electrocyclization to form transient aziridine intermediate 14 which react further by ring opening to generate N-phenacylamine product 10. On the other hand, photolysis of N-[N-mesyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)methyl]aminoethyl-N-mesylbenzamide (8) brings about desilylation resulting in the production of dimer 17.

The photoinitiated intramolecular ylide-olefin addition has been developed as an approach for the construction of one ring and two chiral centers, two rings and three chiral centers or three rings and six chiral centers in a single experimental operation from relatively simple starting materials. These investigations have uncovered several interesting and unusual reactions, which are sensitive to controls such as wavelength, temperature and solvent.

Newly developed Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagents 5 having triphenylphosphorane ylide subunits readily condensed with various carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions to afford $\beta,\gamma$-unsaturated $\alpha$-keto triphenylphorane ylides in good to excellent yields, which were hydrogenated over Pd-C (10%)/$H_2$ (1 atm) to give the corresponding $\alpha$-keto triphenylphorane ylides in quasi-quantitative yields. These triphenyphosphorane ylides have been utilized as the precursors to $\alpha$-keto amide/ester and vicinal tricarbonyl units in Wasserman's synthetic protocols, and have previously been prepared only from carboxylic acids/acid chlorides. Our new approaches provide excellent alternatives for the synthesis of triphenylphosphorane ylide precursors to $\alpha$-keto amide/ester and vicinal tricarbonyl units directly from carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields.

The solvent effect on sulfur ylide mediated epoxidation reaction was studied systematically. While higher trans/cis ratio of the epoxide was obtained in the more polar solvent, protic solvent produced the lower trans/ cis ratio than any aprotic solvent.

Investigation was conducted to examine whether photochemical reaction of N-(tributylstannyl)- methylphthalimide generates an azomethine ylide intermediate in its excited state as its silyl derivative N-(trimethylsilyl)methylphthalimide which has been observed to form an azomethine ylide. The irradiation of N-(tributylstannyl)methylphthalimide in $D_2O-CH_3$CN generates mono-deuterated N-methylphthalimide as an exclusive product which supports the efficient generation of azomethine ylide intermediate and its trapping by water molecule through a proto-destannylation pathway. However the generated tributylstannyl subsitiuted ylide was not observed to be trapped with a dipolarophile such as methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile present in the reactions which is in contrast with the ylide from N-(trimethylsilyl)methylphthalimide.

Results of studies of SET-promoted dipole-forming photochemical group transfer reactions of phthalimide and ${\alpha}-ketoamide$ derivatives are discussed. Azomethine ylide forming photochemical reactions, which are initiated by intramolecular SET from tethered silylmethyl-, carboxymethyl-, and ${\beta}-hydroxyethyl$ containing electron donors to excited states of phthalimides, related maleimides, and conjugated imides, are presented first. Following this, investigations of regioselective 1,4-dipole forming photochemical reactions of N-trialkylsilylmethyl- and N-trialkylstannyl-${\alpha}$-ketoamides are described.

A noble phenylsulfonyl reagent 8 having ${\alpha}$-oxo (cyanomethylene)triphenylphosphorane ylide subunit readily condensed with various alkyl halides under basic conditions to afford ${\beta}$-alkyl-${\alpha}$-oxo-${\beta}$-phenylsulfonyl (cyanomethylene)triphenylphosphorane ylides 9 in excellent yields. These sulfonyl ylides 9 were then reductively desulfonylated with $Na(Hg)/Na_2HPO_4$ in the presence of methanol to provide ${\alpha}$-keto (cyanomethylene)-triphenylphosphorane ylides 2' in good to excellent yields. Our new synthetic approach offers an expeditious access to various ${\alpha}$-keto (cyanomethylene)triphenylphosphorane ylides from alkyl halides utilizing a new phenylsulfonyl reagent as the key reagent under mild reaction conditions in good overall yields.
