Unsaturated macrocycles were obtained by [2 + 2] photoaddition of acyclic biscinnamates. The orientation of the chromophores by ortho ‐xylyl ( 2 ) or aryl‐1,2‐diynyl ( 6 ) spacers leads to the formation of photoproducts in solution as single stereoisomers in high yield. The analogous photocyclization of a cis ‐enediyne biscinnamate 4 was less efficient, because of a rapid photochemical isomerization of the central double bond.
