Photochemical Transformations, 761). - Studies in the Area of the Oxanorbornadiene → Oxepine Isomerization. An Intramolecular Diene/Enone [4 + 2] PhotocycloadditionAt room temperature, the “tropone-annulated” oxanorborna diene 2b dimerizes regio- and stereospecifically to give a [6 + 4] adduct (5). Direct photoexcitation of this adduct induces intramolecular diene/enone [4 + 2] addition to 16 followed by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition to provide the dodecacycle 17. An X- ray crystal structure analysis of 17 documents the influence of the heteroatom and of the quasi-bisected ester functions on the length of the three types of oxaquadricyclane - three-membered ring bonds. Direct and sensitized excitation of 2b, c produces polymers; yet, after changing the troponoid chromophor (9, 10) oxaquadricyclane formation takes place (13, 14). In the thermolysis of the annulated oxaquadricyclanes (13, 14) the different cyclopropane C - C bonds are cleaved at a comparable rate.
