The photochemical reactions of 2-cyclohexenone and other conjugated enones with a variety of unsaturated substances have been investigated to determine the scope, orientation, and stereochemistry of cycloaddition. The occurrence of marked orientational specificity is confirmed as is the frequent formation of íraros-fused ring systems. Thesusceptibility of a number of olefinic substrates to attack by excited 2-cyclohexenone has been measured by competition experiments which establish theseries: 1, 1-dimethoxyethylene> methoxyethylene> cyclopentene> isobutylene> aliene» acrylonitrile. An hypothesis is advanced to explain (1) the observed orientational specificity,(2) the stereochemistry of photoaddition, and (3) the relative reactivity of different olefins with excited 2-cyclohexenone. Because orientational specificity and high olefin reactivity have been found to coincide and to appear with those olefins which are good-donors, these factors are linked in the theory; for good-donors an oriented-complex is considered as an intermediate. The generation of a cyclo-butane unit by cycloaddition seems to occur in two distinct stages with sequential formation of thetwo new car-bon-carbon bonds, ie, via a 1, 4-diradical system, at least incertain instances.During the recent program of research in these laboratories on the total synthesis of caryophyllene, 2 an investigation was made of possible synthetic routes to the bicyclic ketone I and it was discovered that the photochemical cycloaddition of isobutylene and 2-cyclohexenone was an efficient and practical one-step procedure. This reaction which was effected by ultra-
