Abstract

The photochemical reactions of 2-cyclohexenone and other conjugated enones with a variety of unsaturated substances have been investigated to determine the scope, orientation, and stereochemistry of cycloaddition. The occurrence of marked orientational specificity is confirmed as is the frequent formation of trans-fused ring systems. The susceptibility of a number of olefinic substrates to attack by excited 2-cyclohexenone has ...
