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

β¦ Synopsis
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-methoxypropene.
