Alkyl substituents on C β of the CC double bond hinder both photodimerization of endocyclic oxa‐enones ( 1 – 4 ) and their photocycloaddition to olefins, and they cause a loss of regiospecificity in dimerization in unpolar solvents. The oxa‐enone 3 which like the bicyclic compounds 4 fails to dimerize at all, is shown to incorporate deuterium at the tertiary isopropyl carbon atom in CD 3 OD solution as a consequence of a bimolecularly initiated photoenolization.
