Harvesting the strain installed by a Paternò-Büchi step in a synthetically useful way: high-yielding photoprotolytic oxametathesis in polycyclic systems.
High-yielding one-pot photoinduced transformation of readily available endoaroyl and heteroaroyl Diels-Alder adducts into novel polycyclic aldehydes or their hemiacetals, decorated by carbo- and heterocyclic pendants, is described.
