✦ Synopsis


The photoaddition of alkenes to 2,2-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone affords products which can be efficiently elaborated to cyclohexenones by two different methods. During the past several years we have been exploring the utility of acyclic a-formy ketones, particularly formyl acetone, as partners in the photochemical annelation of alkenes. [l-3] Although our results have been encouraging, problems were frequently encountered when a synthetic goal required that either addend in the photocyloaddition reaction contain an additional heteroatan suitable for future elaboration.

The photocycloadditions of a series of chiral 3(2H)-l'uranones with alkenes show facial selectivilies which parallel the steric bulk of the furanone substituents. Selectivities approaching 50: 1 are observed in some instances.

## Abstract The photochemical behaviour of the title compound **2c** was investigated in various solvents. In benzene and __t__‐butanol photodimerization affords the __cis__‐__anti__‐__cis HH__‐ and __HT__‐dimers (H = head, T = tail). In acetonitrile, cyclohexane and 2‐propanol, photoreduction comp
