โฆ Synopsis
The recent publication of Miller and Hedaya' on the photochemistry of 7,8dicarbomethoxytricyclo[4.2.2.0 2J5]deca-3,7,q-triene (1) leads us to report our rather different results. They found that 1 gave dimethyl phthalate, syn-tri-cycloC4.2.0.0 2J5]octa-3,7-diene (2), and cyclooctatetraene upon photolysis at room temperature, -20ยฐ, and liquid nitrogen temperature. That 2 arises from cyclobutadiene was deduced from isolation of cyclobutadiene-diene adducts, and decreased yields of 2, in the presence of piperylene or isoprene. They report looking for thermally labile 7,8-q,lO closure product 1 at -20ยฐ, but observe no closure.
