β¦ Synopsis
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 methoxide and relatively slow cleavage by lead tetraacetate of the diester diol obtained by hydrogenation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, hydrolysis and esterification of the dimer.

In our earlier work on the photochemistry of 2,6-cycloheptadienone (I), we had shown that the course of the reaction is markedly influenced by the nucleophilicity of the solvent .employed (1). Irradiation of I in methyl alcohol gives a monocyclic ether II as the major primary product. On the other h
Irradiation of 2,7-cyclooctadienone 1 produces cis,trans-2,7-cyclooctadienone 5 which has been characterized by low temperature, 13C NMR. Dienone 5 is in equilibrium with a zwitterionic oxyallyl species 6 via B, B bond formation. Zwitterion 6 forms cycloadducts with ethyl vinyl ether and 2-methoxyp
