The Photo‐Dehydro‐ Diels–Alder (PDDA) reaction is shown to be a versatile method for the preparation of highly functionalized naphthalenes. Thus, ketones 1 could be cyclized to the 1 H ‐benzo[ g ]isochromen‐4‐(3 H )‐ones 11 and 12 , mostly in good yields. The influence of various substituents on the regioselectivity of the reaction was investigated, and the mechanism is discussed based on theoretical calculations.
