13. “Nonvertical excitation” prevents less hindered dienes to undergo one-way trans to cis isomerization under selective sensitization. Typical cases are those of 1,3-pentadiene and stilbene: G. S. Hammond J. Saltiel, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1964 86 3197.

22. The dienes and trienes in the vitamin A series undergo ready, but unwanted, sigmatropic 1,5-H-migration (and to a lesser extent 6-e electrocyclization for the trienes) from the excited singlet state. See, e.g.: V. Ramamurthy R. S. H. Liu J. Org. Chem. 1976 41 1862.
