82. Melting points are uncorrected. Ir spectra were taken with a grating spectrometer MH-2, SEM Brilckl, Munich, and with a Beckman IR-12. The nmr spectra (r) were recorded with a Varian A-60A and HA-100; the letter abbreviations used follow: s -singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q Å quartet, qui = quintet, o ∗= octet, m ∗ multiplet, b -broad; tetramethylsilane was used as internal standard. Molecular weights were determined cryoscopically or osmometrioally (Mechrolab) in benzene. Indene, DEAD, and DMAD (all supplied by Aldrich) were purified by distillation- Illumination techniques have been described by G. O. Schenck, in A. Schönberg “Präparative Organische Photochemie,” Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1958, p 210.
