Notes:
Photoexcited 1-naphthaldehyde (1a), 1-acetonaphthone (1b), and 1-naphthophenone (1c) add α-morpholinoacrylonitrile (2a) in a [4 + 2] mode with exceptional regio- and stereoselective formation of only one diastereomer of the two possible regioisomeric 1,4-dihydro-1,4-ethanonaphthalene adducts. An independently formed 1,2-adduct 4 was detected and isolated in very low yield, 4 is thermally and photochemically (313-nm, excitation) cleaved into the starting materials with no indication of direct interconversion into 3b. Compound 3b is stable towards 313-nm radiation, but is efficiently isomerized to give the dihydrobenzosemibullvalene 7 upon 254-nm excitation. - All observations point to the first excited triplet state as the starting point for the 1,4-additions.
