title: Synthesis of tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes and their application in photoinduced electron transfer chemistry.
abstract: The synthesis of new tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes is reported. These compounds were prepared in good yields from the ketones via a two step Peterson olefination. Under conditions of photoinduced electron transfer some tricyclic vinylcyclobutanes show interesting skeleton rearrangements.
