Exposure of the (E)-isomer (4E) of 2-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-4-oxo-2-butenonitrile (β-cyanochalcone) in the solid state to sunlight led to unusual dimerization through isomerization to give an unsymmetrical E-Z dimer (7) along with a symmetrical Z-Z dimer (5) obtainable from the photoreactive (Z)-isomer (4Z-b).
