Abstract
Irradiation of a benzene solution containing I-methoxycarbonyl 2-napht hylmethyl 2,6-dimethyl substituted phenyl ethers (la,b) afforded cyclo hexa-2,4-dienone derivatives (2a,b) as initial rearranged products via C-O bond cleavage and meta substituted phenols (3a,b) which were form ed by subsequent photorearrangement of 2a,b.
