trans 1,2-Dichloroethylene undergoes a stereospecific photoreaction with benzonitrile, the three tolunitriles, α,α,α-trifluorotoluene, fluorobenzene, and chlorobenzene to give substituted 6-exo 7-endo dichlorotricyclo2,8>oct-3-enes which on treatment with base yield cyclised products or semibullvalenes: phenol yields dichlorobicyclooct-2-en-8-one with this ethylene photochemically.
