While 2,2'-distyrylbiphenyl (1) shows no solid-state photoreactivity, the tert.-butyl substituted derivative 2 is quantitatively transformed into the intramolecular cycloadduct 4.In contrast, 1,2-distyrylbenzene (5) exhibits a strong tendency toward photopolymerization in the crystalline state, while the tert.-butylated derivative 7 proves to be photostable.
