Abstract
Dihydrothiinone 9a undergoes photocycloaddition regioselectively to all three CC bonds of penta‐1,2,4‐triene (10), the relative stabilities of the biradical intermediates determining the product distribution. In contrast, cyclohexenone 9b and dihydropyranone 9c afford more complex mixtures of bicyclo[4.2.0]octanones, which also turn out to be less stable on chromatographic workup, reflecting the higher strain due to the shorter bond lengths (CO and CC vs. CS) in the six‐membered rings, respectively.
