Abstract
Irradiation of 3-alkenyloxyphenols in a methanolic solution yields benzocyclobutenes. The efficiency increases if the reaction is carried out in the presence of acid. Formation of meta-alkylated phenols involving similar intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition intermediates is also observed when the olefinic double bond is substituted at the terminal position.
