✦ Synopsis

We demonstrate here unambiguously that (E)-urocanic acid, an epidermal and photobiologically important chromophore, undergoes isomerization to the (Z) isomer upon excitation with UVA (320-400 nm) light using monochromatic 355 and 340 nm laser radiation. Additionally, chemical evidence is presented that supports the isomerization coming from the excited singlet state, thus proving unequivocally that the previously observed triplet state is populated from the excited singlet manifold via intersystem crossing rather a weak S 0 T 1 transition.

## Abstract A CO‐bond cleavage of esters having a naphthyl group, NpCO‐OR and RCO‐ONp (Np=α‐ and β‐naphthyl (^α^Np and ^β^Np, respectively), R=Ph and Me), was found during the two‐color two‐laser flash photolysis in acetonitrile. The CO‐bond cleavage occurred when NpCO‐OR and RCO‐ONp were excited
