Photochemical process leading to the formation of cyclobutanols by
cycloaddition of an alkene to a 1,3-dicarbonyl-enol. The enol originates in most cases from the
tautomerization of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound. The products of the de Mayo reaction are susceptible
to undergo a
retro-aldol ring opening resulting in the formation of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds.
