โฆ Synopsis
The dramatic photochemical rearrangements of santonin and other 2,5-cyclohexadienones 3 contrast sharply with the reported photodimerizations of 2-cyclohexenones. It has been generally assumed that the complex photochemical rearrangements of the 2,5-cyclohexadienones are not possible with simple E-cyclohexenones. Kwie, Shoulders and Gardner 4 have recently shown that 4-cholesten-j-one undergoes a photoisomerization of the santonin to lumi-Ph 2049
