Extreme deformation of the ethano bridge occurs during the isomerization of the chiral benzophenone derivative 1 to the yellow, reactive ortho ‐quinoid system 2 on irradiation. This is proved unambiguously by photoenolization experiments in [D 4 ]methanol. Whereas 2 is interesting as a reactive preparative intermediate, the fluorescence properties of 1 suggest a possible application as triplet sensitizer in photochemical reactions.
