Abstract

The irradiation of the tricyclo [4.3. 2.0] undecenones 6a-c, even in cyclohexene as solvent, results only in a quantitative isomerization to 7a-c, whereas irradiation of the tricyclo [3.3. 3.0] undecenones 11 and 18 in cyclohexene gives primarily cycloadducts and products of “frustrated” cycloaddition.
