Schuster s and Weedon s results support Bauslaugh s proposed mechanism that emphasizes the effect of the ratio between cyclization and the alternative fragmentation pathway of the diradical intermediate, on the regioselectivity in the intermolecular photocycloadditions, and propose not to consider the oriented 7r-complex (exciplex) as an intermediate in the mechanistic pathway of the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of enones to alkenes.
