1 n, π*‐Excitation of the γ,δ‐epoxy‐enone ( E )‐ 3 leads exclusively to the conformers ( Z )‐ 3A + B . On 1 π, π*‐excitation of ( E )‐ 3 , in addition to ( Z )‐ 3A + B , products 6–9 arising from a carbene intermediate e are formed. However, products of an isomerization via C(γ), O‐bond cleavage of the oxirane were not formed on either mode of excitation. On thermolysis, at 80° the conformer ( Z )‐ 3A is transformed into ( Z )‐ 3B , which on photolysis returns to ( Z )‐ 3A and ( E ) ‐3 . At 160°, however, ( Z ) ‐3B rearranges to the isomers 6, 10 and 11 .
