Photochemical reaction of a
molecular entity comprising two π-systems, separated by a saturated carbon atom (a 1,4-diene or an
allyl-substituted aromatic analogue), to form an ene- (or aryl-) substituted cyclopropane.
Note:
The
rearrangement formally amounts to a 1,2 shift of one ene group (in the diene) or the aryl group
(in the allyl-aromatic analogue) and '
bond formation' between the lateral carbons of the non-migrating
moiety.
