55. The sample contained 1a, 21a, and 3a in a ratio of ca. 3:2:300 after the initial irradiation with 254-nm light. Extended irradiation did not bring about an appreciable increase in the proportion of (1a + 21a):3a and only induced the decomposition of the products and 3a.

63. 6 The insignificant bond alteration in 1a, therefore, is not surprising. We recently observed that significant diatropicity is retained in a [4]paracyclophane derivative, suggesting the sustenance of substantial aromatic ring current in its benzene ring.
