## Abstract Alkylation of 4,4,6‐trimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenone (**1**) in toluene in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide proceeds smoothly to give high yields of compounds **2**. Irradiation (λ= 366 nm) of the 6‐allyl‐4,4,6‐trimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenones **2a–c** yields mixtures of the isomeric

✦ Synopsis
Abstracti Irradiation of lb (X -350 nm) in ten-butyl alcohol solution containing 5 leads to the novel ring system 9b in a single step. Similar reactions occur between la and both 5 and 6. Mechanisms of these transformations are discussed.
b-radiation of alkynylcyclohexenone la in the presence of tetramethylethylene leads to formation of [3 +2] cycloaddition products such as 2,* and we have explained this and related reactions3 by way of an initially formed 1,4 alkyl propargyl biradical3 that closes 1,s on the triple bond to yield carbene 4.
Hydrogen transfer in 4 then furnishes 2. We now report a significant modification of this process that permits construction of unusual tricyclic systems in a single step through use of alkoxyalkenes such as 5 and 6 as addends.

Irradiation of a benzene solution containing 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dimethylpyrazine with allylic silanes afforded 2,8-diazatricyclo[3.2.1.04.S]oct-2-ene derivatives in moderate yields. This photoreaction involves the (2n + 2n) photecycloaddition followed by rearrangement.
