Notes:
The photolysis and thermolysis of 7,8-diaza-3-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.02,5]non-7-enes were studied. Photolysis showed a novel [4π + 2π + 2π] cycloreversion in a formal way, the first example in azoalkane chemistry. This cycloreversion was found to be sensitized by the benzophenone produced. In contrast, thermolysis showed the typical decomposition pattern of azoalkanes, extrusion of nitrogen and subsequent σ-bond formation of the resulting biradical to afford the tricyclic oxetanes
