Abstract
The 6‐chloro‐2‐cyclohexenones 3, 6 and 11, and the 5‐chloro‐2‐cyclopentenone 15 were newly synthesized. The results obtained with compounds 3 and 15 in photocycloadditions to olefins show that the oxetane vs. cyclobutane product ratio is reduced by the substitution of florine by chlorine in the α′ ‐position of the enone. No oxetanes are formed in the intramolecular photocycloaddition of 6. Compound 11 does not photoadd to olefins. The newly synthesized 2‐chloro‐3‐cyclohexenones 8 and 9 are also photostable towards light of λ=366 nm, but π‐π*‐excitation (λ=254 nm) in pentane leads to the formation of 4,4‐dimethylcyclohexanone (29).

## Abstract The photochemical behaviour of the title compound **1a** is compared to that of the non‐fluorinated parent ketone 2‐methylcyclohexanone (**1b**). Substitution of the CH~3~‐ group on C(2) by a trifluoromethyl group strongly enhances __2H__‐ and __RH__‐ reduction product formation in cycl
