12. For instance, as pointed out by the same authors, according to deuterium-labeling studies, the dominant photoproduct, cis-1,3,6-heptatriene, is formed via formal electrocyclic [2π + 2ω + 2σ] ring opening of the bicyclo[4,1,0]hept-2-ene ring system in a manner analogous to the 1,3-cyclohexadiene/Ixsx,3,5-hexatriene interconversion; see ref 6.
