N2  - The ultraviolet irradiation of &#945;- and &#946;-farnesene with and without photosensitizers is described, &#945;-Farnesene simply undergoes cis-trans isomerization. The photosensitized irradiation of &#946;-farnesene yielded a mixture of bicyclohexanes, whereas the direct irradiation of &#946;- farnesene afforded the same bicyclohexanes plus a substituted cyclobutene and a compound which may be cis-&#946;-bergamotene.
