Abstract

UV-irradiation of 1,3,6,8,10- and 1,3,5,7,9-pentamethylcyclooctapyrimidine-2,4-diones (3, 5) effected bond-switching to produce their tautomeric isomers (4, 6). Upon heated in the dark, the former (4) reverted to 3, while the latter (6) transformed itself into cyclobutaquinazoline (7) through intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
