✦ Synopsis
Photolysis of iso‐methyl‐β,(E)‐ionone‐epoxide
On n, π*‐excitation (λ ≥ 347 nm) the title compound 7 isomerizes to the (Z)‐enone‐epoxide 8, which yields the bicyclic alkohol 9 in a second photochemical step. The photoisomerization 8 → 9 is a further example for the influence of a methyl substituent at C(α) of an enone‐chromophore on the nature of the photochemical processes.
On UV. irradiation in the presence of traces of hydrochloric acid 7 gives quantitatively the furane 10.
