Photochemical Cycloaromatization of Non-Benzenoid Enediynes

Abstract
An efficient photo‐Bergman reaction of aliphatic enediynes has been realized. Photolysis of 1 results in the formation of 4 in good yields along with [D2]3. Enediyne 4, which has never been isolated in the thermal reaction of 1, arises here by a retro‐Bergman reaction of the diradical intermediate 2.
