The behaviour of 2‐methyl‐2‐trifluoromethyl‐3( 2H )‐furanone ( 1b ) and 2,2‐bis(trifluoromethyl)‐3( 2H )‐furanone ( 1c ) is compared to that of the parent dimethyl compound 1a for the following light‐induced reactions: (a) cyclodimerization, (b) [2 + 2] cycloaddition to 2,3‐dimethyl‐2‐butene, and (c) reductive (RH) addition to 2‐propanol. A pronounced acceleration due to the exchange of CH 3 against CF 3 is observed in this last reaction; the mechanistic aspects are discussed.
