Phenylpenta-2,4-dienaldehydes 4 and 7 show an uncatalized cis-trans-isomerization of the 4,5-d0uble bond above 70 "C. The negative value of the activation entropy for these reactions points to the formation of the bicyclic valence isomeric 2H-Pyrans 5 and 8 respectively in the rate determining step.

Abstract
Irradiation of 5‐phenyl‐2,4‐pentadienaldehydes 1 and 2 leads to a rapid cis, trans‐isomerization of the 4,5‐double bond followed by formation of unsaturated ketenes 7 and 12, respectively, through a [1.5]‐hydrogen shift. In the dark, ketenes 7 and 12 revert at room temperature to the 5‐phenyl‐2,4‐pentadienaldehydes 1 und 2. Activation parameters and solvent dependence have been determined for this remarkably facile [1.5]‐sigmatropic rearrangement. The ketenes 7 and 12 are stable below − 20° in inert solvents. With alcohols and amines mixtures of α,β‐ and β,γ‐unsaturated acid derivatives are formed. Upon extended irradiation of 7 and 12 in aprotic solvents olefins 9 and 13 are formed through decarbonylation.
