β¦ Synopsis
AS an extension of our studies on the photochemical Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3,5-hexatrienes to bicyclo[3.l.O]hex-2-enes, 1 we became interested in determining the stereochemical consequences attending the thermal cycloreversion of the bicyclo[3.l.O]hex-2-ene system. The parent carbocycle is known to display interesting thermal chemistry.
