The cleavage of cyclobutanes by short‐wavelength UV radiation was studied using the example of the title compound 1 , which contains no chromophoric substituents. 185 nm Irradiation of 1 in n ‐pentane leads preferentially to decompostion into 1,7‐octadiene. Presumably, Rydberg excited states having radical cation character, such as 2 , are involved.
