On 1 n,π*‐excitation, the title compound 2 undergoes a photoinduced intramolecular [4 + 2]‐cycloaddition affording the tetracyclic enol ether 3 as the only product in 79% yield. The assigned structure of 3 was confirmed by its conversion to the p ‐nitrobenzoate 6 whose structure was determined by X‐ray analysis.
