## Abstract Irradiation of newly synthesized 2,2‐dimethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐4__H__‐thiin‐4‐one (1) in furan affords the two [4 + 2] cycloadducts 3 and 4 and the [2 + 2] cycloadduct 5 in a 5:4:1 ratio (__Scheme 1__). Irradiation of 1 in MeOH gives a 3:2 mixture of 5‐ and 6‐methoxy‐2,2‐dimethylthian‐4‐ones

Abstract
The reactivity of (thiacyclic)‐2,3‐dihydro‐2,2‐dimethyl‐4__H__‐thiopyran‐4‐one (1a) in light‐induced cycloadditions to furan (F), acrylonitrile (AN), or 2,3‐dimethylbut‐2‐ene (TME) is compared to that of (carbocyclic) 5,5‐dimethylcyclohex‐2‐enone (1b). Whereas for the more‐flexible thiacycle, the efficiency of [2+2]‐photocycloadduct formation with AN or TME is generally much lower, the diastereoselectivity regarding the ring fusion in the bicyclo[4.2.0]octanes is quite similar for both enones. In contrast, 1a affords exclusively trans‐fused [4+2] cycloadducts with F, while 1b gives predominantly the corresponding cis‐fused products.
