Popis: Direct UV-irradiation of 5-fluoro-1,3-dimethyluracil (5-FDMU) and naphthalene (1) with a 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp in a degassed Pyrex tube (λ > 300 nm) predominantly afforded benzopyrimidobarrelene derivative (2) through 1,4-addition, while irradiation in the presence of piperylene in singlet excited states preferentially afforded naphthocyclobuta-pyrimidine derivative (3) via 1,2-addition. Upon 254 nm light-irradiation of 2 gave rise to the formation of benzopyrimidosemibullvalene (4) in fair yields. The reaction pathway for the formation of 4 is reasonably explained in the terms of di-π-methane rearrangement. Adduct 3 was newly converted to the corresponding barrelene derivative (2) by long-wave-length irradiation in the presence of a triplet sensitizer.
