Abstract

Chem. SOC., in press. systems. Besides obvious potential applications for the total synthesis of natural products which incorporate a bicyclo [3.2. 0] heptyl array, 2 such photobicyclizations may be of value for construction of other important multicyclic ring systems. Thus, the photoproducts are cyclobutylcarbinyl alcohols which may be useful intermediates for generating, via ring expansion, 3 tricyclic ring systems such as 5 from 3 ...
