The rearrangement of 4, 4-diphenylcyclohexadienoneto 6, 6-diphenylbicyclo [3.1, 0] hex-3-en-2-one was shown to be an efficient process with a quantum yield of 0.85. The quantum efficiency was solvent independent. Evidence was obtained that the dienone triplet is involved. The triplet, formed by efficient intersystem crossing, rearranges at a rate greater than 2 X 1010 sec-1. Additional results showed that after skeletalchange the triplet demotes to a ground-state intermediate which then rearranges further to product; the ground-state intermediate is reasonably formulated as the mesoionic species postulated earlier. The excited triplet of bicyclic ketone product is not reached. The observed preference of the mesoionic zwitterion to proceed to bicyclic ketone rather than revert to dienone is understood on a molecular orbital basis. The a priori possible 4—3 phenyl migration was shown not to intervene. The dienone rearrangement did not occur at 77 K in a glass under conditions where the dienone triplet was quenched by naphthalene. Spectroscopic evidence showed the presence of the-* triplet, and molecular orbital considerations suggest that this is the species rearranging. Naphthalene in high concentration was used as a singlet sensitizer.
