On singlet excitation (λ = 254 nm), the epoxydiene ( E )‐ 3 underwent ( E )/( Z )‐isomerization, electrocyclic ring closure of the diene side chain leading to the cyclobutenes 4A + B , and rearrangement to the cyclohexanones 5A + B . Compounds 5A + B were presumably formed in a series of processes including a 1,3‐acyl shift of the homoconjugated ketone 8 , arising from ( Z )‐ 3 by a 1,5‐H‐shift accompanied by cleavage of the C,O‐bond of the oxirane.
