The photochemical behavior of in situ generated anions of 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones containing an oxazol-2-one moiety was studied. For the first time, it was demonstrated that blue LED light irradiation (450 nm) of substituted 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones in the presence of a base leads regiospecifically to the formation of isomeric 3-hydroxypyran-2-ones. Transformation of the starting 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones into the corresponding anions is necessary for the presented photoprocess. Based on the considered visible light induced rearrangement, a general method for the synthesis of 3-hydroxypyran-2-ones with an oxazol-2-one moiety was elaborated. The structure of one of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
