Cantrell recently reported' that U.V. irradiation 2,4-cyclooctadienone (1) in methanol or ether gave in low yield (6-10%) a dimer, m.p. 173-174'. The proposed head-to-head cin-atiti structure (as in 4) was based on spectral data, recovery of starting dimer after treatment with methanolic sodium meth
