On irradiation (300 nm) in the solid state, the title compound 8 affords tricyclo[3.3.1.1 3,7 ]decan‐2‐one (=adamantan‐2‐one; 9 ) selectively via [4+2] cycloreversion. A similar result is obtained on photolysis in solution (MeCN or acetone), also in the presence of added alkenes. On irradiation in MeOH, a solvent adduct 11 is isolated in addition to 9 . From experiments in CD 3 OD, it can be inferred that 11 is formed via syn ‐addition of MeOH to the ground‐state ( E )‐heterocycle 16 .
