✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The structures of the main products resulting from photocyclodimerization of the title compound 2 and of other 3‐methyl‐substituted ‘oxacyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐ones’ (=dihydropyranones) were determined by X‐ray crystallography. In connection, the ^13^C‐NMR chemical shifts of the cyclobutane C‐atoms of these dimers allow a clear differentiation between head‐to‐head and head‐to‐tail regioisomers, all structurally related to those of isophorone (1).

## Abstract The thermal decomposition of the title compound has been studied in the gas phase in the temperature range of 584–634 K. The decomposition was found to be a first‐order homogeneous process yielding 2‐methylbuta‐1,3‐diene and formaldehyde. The rate constants obtained at 11 temperatures w
