Abstract

The photochemistry of a series of 1-alkenyl-naphthalen-2(1H)-ones suggests that the formation of benzotricyclo[3.3.1.02,7]nonen-8-ones involves an ambident benzyl radical which gives these products on ring closure at the endocyclic carbon; ring closure at the exocyclic carbon gives the normal [2+2] enone-olefin cycloaddition products.
