Tricyclo2,8>oct-3-enes are conveniently obtained by the meta photocycloaddition of ethenes to benzenoid compounds.Acid catalyzed cleavage of the cyclopropane ring in the photoadduct affords bicyclo and octane derivatives and dienophiles undergo and cycloaddition to the ethene and ethenylcyclopropane moieties respectively.The preferred mode of reaction for both processes is controlled by the nature and position of the substituents in the meta cycloadduct.
