Abstract
The reaction of singlet oxygen with 2‐phenylnorbornene (1) in aprotic solvents gives 3‐formylcyclopentyl phenyl ketone (2) (10%) and uncharacterized polymer (90%). When methanol is used as solvent, endo‐2‐phenyl‐exo‐2‐methoxy‐exo‐3‐hydroperoxynorbornane (4) and endo‐2‐(anti‐1′, 4′‐epidioxy‐5′,6′‐epoxycyclohex‐2′‐enyl)‐exo‐2,3‐epoxynorbornane (6 and 7) are obtained in addition to 2. Triplet oxygen with 1 gave 2, endo‐2‐phenyl‐exo‐2,3‐epoxynorbornane (8), and the trimer 9 or 10 of exo‐2,3‐epidioxy‐endo‐2‐phenylnorbornane. With protic solvents the amount of epoxide increased at the expense of trimer. The singlet and triplet oxygen reactions are discussed in the light of possible intermediates.

## Abstract The reaction of photogenerated singlet oxygen with α‐ and β‐pinenes has been carefully re‐examined. α‐Pinene almost exclusively (99.3% yield) furnishes __trans__‐3‐hydroperoxy‐pin2(10)‐ene. However, detectable amounts of the three other possible products are also found, viz., __cis__‐3‐
## Abstract Regioselective photocycloadditions of 2‐pyridones (1) with 2,4‐pentadienoates (3) were analysed and compared with the reactions with propenoate (2), and origins of the different regioselectivities were inferred from frontier molecular orbital properties by the use of PM3‐CI method. Dir
