The photocycloaddition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) to carbon-carbon multiple bonds to give cyclobutene derivatives has been of considerable interest, and its reactions with aromatic umlecules have been successfully used for the synthesis of cyclooctatetraene derivatives 2 .
During studies of photo-additions of diphenylacetylene (DPA) to aromatic hydrocarbons we examined the effects of Pyrex-filtered U.V. light on mixtures of DPA and benzo[b]thiophen(l). We now report the formation of two 1:l photo-adducts (I) and (II) in these reactions, and the photo-isomerisation of
