Irradiation of 1,4-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (NDN) in deoxygenated acetonitrile in the presence of aromatic pinacols (1) leads to reduction of the former to the dihydro derivative 4 and the tetrahydro derivative 5 as well as to oxidative cleavage of the latter to yield ketones or aldehydes (3). Reaction with pinacol ethers (2) leads to product types 3, 4 and 5 as well as to 1(1-methoxybenzyl)-1,2-dihydro
