Photolysis of the unsaturated enones 1 yields [2 + 2] cycloaddition products 2 and 3 with varying regioselectivity. Under electron‐transfer conditions (PET) spirocyclic products 4 are formed. The straight [2 + 2] cycloaddition products 2b,c,f are converted to the spirocyclic products 4b,c,f under the same reaction conditions. The cyclobutane 5 and the cyclopropane 11 also undergo this new reductive ring opening reaction, while the stabilized system 7 is converted to reduced ringenlarged triquinane 10 which may be interesting in natural product synthesis. – Irradiation of 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one ( 14 ) in the presence of N,N ‐dimethylallylamine ( 15 ) leads to the decahydroisoquinoline 18 . A mechanism involving radical intermediates is discussed.
