✦ Synopsis


On triplet excitation (h > 280 nm, acetone), the epoxydiene (E)-2 undergoes ( E ) / (Z)-isomerization exclusively, leading to the conformers (Z)-2A and (Z)-2B. On singlet excitation (h = 254 nm), apart from ( Z ) -2 A + B, the cyclobutenes 3 A + B are formed.

However, the epoxydiene (E)-2 does not undergo reactions leading to carbene and C,O-bond cleavage products, which are normally observed on singlet and triplet excitation, respectively, of the epoxydienes of the ionone series. ') 132nd Communication, see [I].
