The axially chiral bicyclic thioketones 11 and 15 were prepared and investigated for suitability as chiroptical triggers in a liquidcrystal optical switch. Irradiation of partially resolved 15 with unpolarized light leads to its conversion to the racemic form (photoracemization). However, irradiation of racemic thioketones 11 and 15 with circularlypolarizedlight does not lead to detectable photoresolution
