A highly reactive ortho-quinodimethane can be generated by intramolecular H-abstraction from a photochemically excited ortho-alkyl-substituted benzaldehyde A (Scheme 1). Its reaction with alkenes at low temperature represents a photochemical alternative to the classical Diels–Alder reaction between a diene and a dienophile.[1] The photochemical reaction was dicovered by Yang and Rivas in 1961 [2] and was studied intensively thereafter. It was shown that only the E diastereoisomer (t> 1 s) of the two formed enols (Z)-B and (E)-B enters the cycloaddition reaction, while the Z diastereoisomer is subject to fast (t= 30 ns–1 μs) tautomerization.[3, 4] As a consequence of this selectivity and due to the
