Abstract
On irradiation (λ=350 nm), 1,2‐naphthoquinone (=naphthalene‐1,2‐dione) monoacetals 1 are converted quantitatively to mixtures of the cis‐trans‐cis‐photocyclodimers 2 and 3. Careful hydrolysis of each of the (parent) pentacyclic diacetals 2a and 3a affords the – rather unstable – compounds 4 and 5, respectively.

## Abstract The configuration of trans, trans‐1,2‐dimethyl and of trans, cis‐1, 2‐dimethylethylene‐sulfite, as suggested by NMR, is in agreement with electrondiffraction results in the gas phase. The best fit to the observed diffraction intensities was obtained with a non‐planar sulfite ring, ϕ~max
