21. In fact, some reaction enhancement was observed in the presence of piperylene. This is due to the low conversion conditions under which the quenching studies were run. We have observed that secondary photochemistry destroys the photoproducts.

28. We find it striking that direct excitation of the C17 carbonyl group with 308 nm light in 33 and 34 also leads to isomerization of the C3 alkene (4.6 and 10% of the product for 33 and 34, respectively; Table 6). Though these results imply intra-TTET from the C17 ketone triplet to C3, such an explanation would be inconsistent with the lack of ISC we have observed in a C17 ketone. Studies of substrates lacking the C6 DPSO group are in progress.
