Both the title compound, 5,6-dibenzoyl-4-methoxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one, C23H20O4, and its photolysis product obtained in the solution phase, 4-methoxy-6-exo-methoxycarbonyl-5-(1-phenoxy-1-phenylmethylene)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one dagger, C24H24O5, both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The structures were solved by direct methods. The conformations established for the two compounds facilitate understanding of the mechanism of the photoreaction in solution.
