In a search for further synthetic routes to substituted [5.5.5.5] fenestranes, compound 1a , a derivative of 7‐methoxyindane, was photolyzed. Two of the three photoproducts, viz. the [3.5.5.5]fenestrane 3a and the isomer 4a , are formed according to the expected intramolecular meta ‐cycloaddition. A different mechanism is suggested for the formation of the major component 2a .
