The effect of substitution at the 'central methane' on the photoreactivity of 3-benzylfuran-2(5H)ones 5a-g was investigated. Despite its di-pi-methane structure, photochemical arylation was effected to give substituted indenofuranones 6 in good yields. Only the substitution by phenyl caused the di-pi-methane rearrangement to give a cyclopropanofuranone 18g in moderate yield.
