The equilibrated product ratios were much dependent on the substitution pattern of the Megroups as well as the irradiated wavelength. The regiochemistry of these photoadditions was elucidated on the basis of the restricted conformation of the starting enediones.}, pages = {7881--7884}, title = {Conformational Analysis in Reversible Intramolecular [2+2] Photocycloaddition of Diphenylbicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5-diones}, volume = {47}, year = {2006} }
