31. The absolute stereochemistry of the adducts is presumed to parallel that previously reported for the tert-butyl-substituted allenes, for which X-ray crystallographic analysis of an appropriate derivative was possible (ref 8). To date, we have been unable to obtain crystalline material of adducts 13-17 and their derivatives.

33. Although the triisopropyl-substituted allenes typically gave products with higher levels of induction than the corresponding trimethylsilyl-substituted allenes, the desilylation of these photoadducts proceeded in diminished yields. We are currently investigating this novel class of allenes, and their synthetic chemistry which will be the subject of future work in our laboratories.

It is important to note that formation of the first spirocyclic ring from 22a and 25c, for example, is an exothermic process and likely proceeds through an early transition state that should not resemble the cis-or transfused, 4-5 ring systems present in the ultimate products 24 and 27, respectively.
