The control of photochemical reactions by polar substituents is of value for preparative applications. For example, anthracene (1a) reacts with butadiene to give the [4+2]‐ (2a) and the [4+4] adduct (3a) in the ratio of 20:1. The carbonitrile (1b) , on the other hand, leads to (2b), (3b) , and (4) (secondary product of a (3b) ‐isomer) in the ratio of 1:3.2:13.3. The polar substituent thus suppresses the [4 + 2] reaction ( a: X H; b: X CN).
