Irradiation of di-(α-naphthylmethyl)ether I, -(α-naphthylmethyl)ether II and 1,3-di-(α-naphthyl)propanol III, with wavelengths longer than 300 nm results finally for all of these compounds in the formation of "cubane-like" photocyclomers.The structures of these cyclomers were elucidated by 1H-NMR-spectroscopy.A general scheme for "cubane-like" photocyclomerization in di-(α-naphthyl) compounds is proposed.
