A unique reaction takes place in the pyrolysis of the diketone 1 . The formation of the pyrene isomer 2 (60%) can hardly be explained other than in terms of via a 1,2‐dioxetane; thus, this reaction would be the reverse of the oxidative cleavage of electron‐rich double bonds with singlet oxygen. In addition, 30% anthracene is obtained by the expected stepwise decomposition of 1 via a norcaradienone derivative.
