Irradiation of some highly congested, phenolic 2-(methoxymethyl)benzophenones provides a rapid, efficient and stereoselective entry to the corresponding 1-aryl-1-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzocyclobutenes in high chemical yield. The analogous photocyclization reaction of phenolic benzaldehydes appears to be more limited in scope
