Abstract
On singlet excitation (Ξ» = 254 nm), the epoxydiene (E)β3 underwent (E)/(Z)βisomerization, electrocyclic ring closure of the diene side chain leading to the cyclobutenes 4A + B, and rearrangement to the cyclohexanones 5A + B. Compounds 5A + B were presumably formed in a series of processes including a 1,3βacyl shift of the homoconjugated ketone 8, arising from (Z)β3 by a 1,5βHβshift accompanied by cleavage of the C,Oβbond of the oxirane.

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
