Photo-addition of indene and acrylonitrile: orientation and stereochemistry of the cycloadducts

Abstract
The cyclobutanes obtained on photosensitized cyclo-addition of indene and acrylonitrile have been reinvestigated and the structures formerly assigned (1) have been unambiguously confirmed. The photo-addition of indene and cyanoacetylene has been shown to smoothly afford a single adduct, 7-cyano-2,3-benzobicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-2,6-diene.
