The dioxinone is subjected to UV or visible light irradiation. The light energy promotes a [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction. In this step, the double bond within the dioxinone ring adds to another double bond within the molecule, forming a new cyclic structure. This newly formed ring contains four carbons, giving rise to a tetrahydrofuranone or tetrahydropyranone core.
