Photoirradiations of 4‐(ω‐alkenyloxy)‐2‐pyrones 1 gave site‐ and regio‐specific intramolecular [2 + 2]‐cycloadducts 2 being oxatricyclic lactones, and/or Dewar‐type valence‐isomer derivatives 4. The reaction path depended upon the alkenyl chain length. Namely the two or three carbon chain gave rise to intramolecular [2 + 2]‐cycloaddition, while the four carbon chain caused both valence‐isomerization and cycloaddition. Hydrolysis of the cycloadducts 2 gave oxabicycloalkanecarboxylic acids 7.
