Enyne photocycloaddition with a 2-pyridone yields a mixture of products including amide-bridged 1,2,5-cyclooctatrienes, the first examples of enyne [4 + 4] adducts. Four regio- and stereochemical isomers of the [4 + 4] adduct are possible. All appear to be too strained to be isolated, but they have been identified as their [2 + 2] cyclobutane dimers. Cyclobutane and cyclobutene adducts have also been isolated, [2 + 2] addition products possibly related to the unstable [4 + 4] adducts via Cope rearrangement. Calculations suggest that [3,3] rearrangements have high energy barriers, however, making thermal interconversion unlikely.

N-Alkyl-N-(2-(1-arylvinyl)aryl)cinnamamides are converted into natural product inspired scaffolds via iridium photocatalyzed intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition. The protocol has a broad substrate scope, whilst operating under mild reaction conditions. Tethering four components forming a trisubstituted cyclobutane core builds rapidly high molecular complexity.

Irradiation of a 1,3-enyne tethered to a 2-pyridone, in the presence of oxygen, leads to formation of a seven-membered ring product, an overall [4+4-1] reaction. This transformation involves two unstable intermediates and a sequence of unusual reactions. An initial [4+4] photocycloaddition of the enyne with the pyridone yields a 1,2,5-cyclooctatriene.

Intramolecular [4 + 4] photoreaction of 2-pyrones with a 1,3-enyne yields an unstable 1,2,5-cyclooctatriene product. Without a C4 pyrone substituent, 1,3-hydrogen migration converts the allene to a 1,3-diene, with a skeleton related to dactylol. With methoxy substitution, Cope rearrangement yields a nine-membered ring fused to a cyclobutane.

Reactive 1,2,5-cyclooctatrienes, formed by photocycloaddition of 2-pyridones with enynes, are stabilized by steric shielding, slowing or preventing an otherwise facile [2 + 2]-dimerization reaction. Diisopropylsilyl ether-tethered reactants paired with an alkene substituent (R) produce allenes that are stable (R = TMS) or that isomerize to 1,3-dienes by hydrogen migration (R = alkyl). Under acidic conditions, hydrolysis of the photoproduct's silyl ether can lead to a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

Intramolecular photocycloaddition (>290 nm) between a 1,3-enyne and a 2-pyridone is far more selective than the intermolecular version; a three-atom linkage both controls regiochemistry and separates the [2 + 2] and [4 + 4] pathways. All four head-to-head, head-to-tail, tail-to-head, and tail-to-tail tetherings have been investigated. Linkage via the ene of the enyne leads to [2 + 2] products regardless of alkene geometry, whereas linkage through the yne results in [4 + 4] cycloadducts.
