β¦ Synopsis
IT is well established that 4-ntethylcyclohexadienones of the santonin type undergo photochemical transformation in aqueous acetic acid to perhydroasulene derivatives of the isophotosantonic la&one type.' The photochemical properties of cyclohexadienones which are unsubstituted at C4 have also been studied, but the rearrangement products have not been well characterized2 We wish to report that dienones of this type have been found to undergo photochemical transformation in acidic media to Spiro p.57 dec-3-en-e-one derivatives. IrrediaUon3 of 4aS,~-d~thy1-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2(4aR)-naphtha1enone (I)~ in 45s acetic acid at 20' gave the spiro ketone II, m.p. 98-yy", in 16$ yield. When

## Abstract The products formed on UV irradiation of several tricyclic compounds (__i.e.__ 3, 6, 8, 15, and 17, __Schemes 2β4__) were studied in detail. A marked dependence of the reaction course on the type and site of substitution was found. Among the several lightβinduced transformations, a nove
