Popis: Irradiation of cyclononene and cycloundecene in pentane afforded cis-bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane and cis-bicyclo[6.3.0]undecane, respectively. Small amounts of the fragmentation products 1-undecene and 1-undecyne were also obtained from cycloundecene. The photobehavior of the series of medium- and large-ring alkenes is compared. Aside from E⇄Z isomerization, the principal pathway in each case involves rearrangement of the π,R(3s) excited to a cycloalkylidene intermediate which undergoes predominant, if not exclusive, 1,5-transannular insertion to afford the corresponding cis-bicyclo[n.3.0]alkane
