Photochemical reactions of three kinds of 1-(omega-alkenyl)-2-pyridones 1-8 were investigated. Photosensitized cycloadditions of 1-(omega-alkenyl)-2-pyridones and 1,3-bis(omega-alkenyl)-2-pyridone 2-6 afforded intramolecutar [2 + 2]cycloadducts across the 5,6-bonds of the 2-pyridones to give the tricyclic lactams 14-18: the additions were site-, regio-, and stereospecific. The yields of the adducts diminished in proportion to increased side-chain length. The one possessing the shortest alkenyl group, 1, and the 1-[omega-(acryloyloxy)alkyl]-2-pyridones 7 and 8, however, gave no products. On the other hand, direct irradiation of 3 afforded a bicyclic lactam 19. The intramolecular cycloaddition mechanism was discussed in terms of the excited state of 2-pyridone, as calculated by the MNDO-CI method.
