Abstract
The triplet states of certain phenyl ketones and benzoic acid derivatives u ndergo regioselective and stereoselective intramolecular ortho cycloadditio n to remote double bonds, triggering an array of photochemical and thermal pericyclic rearrangements among various novel polycyclic products.
