Exposure of β-cis-asarone (1) as neat oil to sunlight for a month gives five photoproducts characterised as β-trans-asarone (2), (E)-(3)- and (Z)-(4)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-propen-2-als, asaraldehyde (5) and acoradin (6).All the products have been identified on the basis of their spectral data.A reaction mechanism leading to the formation of photoproducts is suggested.
