Abstract

A 2-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octa-4,7-diene derivative was unexpectedly isolated from the photochemical irradiation of 2-vinyl-1,2-dihydropyridine. A cascading 6π–8π–4π electrocyclic rearrangement has been proposed as a possible mechanistic pathway.

Keywords: azabicyclo[4.2.0], azaoctadiene, cascade, dihydropyridine, electrocyclisation.
