Abstract
Abstract Irradiation of 1,3-cycloheptadiene in ether solution gave Δ6-bicyclo [3.2.0] heptene, the structure of which was established by degradation to cis-cyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and by dihydrogenation to the known bicyclo [3.2.0] heptane. Irradiation of 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene in ether gave the known Δ2.6-bicyclo [3.2.0] heptadiene. Both photoproducts upon pyrolysis were reconverted to their respective seven membered ring progenitors.
