Irradiation of 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-1-(o-methylaryl)-alkan-1-ones 1a-h having a bulky alkyl group or an aryl group on C-3 in methanol gave trans- and cis-cyclopropane-1,2-diols 2a-g and 3a, c-f, h and benzocyclobutenols 4a-h through β- and γ-hydrogen abstractions.Irradiation of 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-1-(o-methylphenyl)-alkan-1-ones 1i-k having ethyl, methyl or no substituent at C-3 gave benzocyclobutenols 4i-k and 1,3-diketones 5i, j, but no cyclopropane-1,2-diols.The cyclopropane-1,2-diols were sensitive to air and readily oxidized to the corresponding 1,3-diketones.Irradiation of 3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-1-(o-methylaryl)pentan-1-ones 8a, b having a methyl group or no substituent on C-2 gave benzocyclobutenols 9a, b, the peroxide 10 and phthalides 11a, b. 3-Hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one 12a and 3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentan-1-one 12b also underwent photocyclization through β-hydrogen abstraction to give cyclopropane-1,2-diols 13a, b and 14.

Irradiation of 3-hydroxy-1-(o-methylaryl)-2,2,4-trimethylpentan-1-ones 1 in methanol gave cyclopropane-1,2-diols 2, 1,3-diketones 3 and benzocyclobutenols 4.
