✦ Synopsis

The photocycllzatlon of trans,trans-1,3-dlstyrylbenzene,& In the presence of oxygen, could conceivably produce nine compounds: six intermediate photoproducts (cls,trans-1,3-dlstyrylbenzene& cis,cis-1.3-dlstyrylbenzene,,j., Qand trans-2-styrylphenanthrene& and 2, _ cls-and trans-4-styry1phenanthrene.g and2); and three final photoproducts (benzo[c]chrysene&, dibenz[a,j]anthracene. 2, 4-phenylpyrene.2). Dietz and Scholz (2) reported&as the only product
