GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

4-Allyl-4-hydroperoxy-2-methoxycyclohexa-2,5-dienone (5) was synthesized by photooxygenation of commercially available Eugenol in the presence of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) as a singlet oxygen sensitizer. The brief and one-pot syntheses of some natural product skeletons were conducted using the corresponding allylic hydroperoxide at different temperatures (0 oC and room temperature) with potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) in mild condition at N 2(g) atm.
