• can be visualized as having occurred through an initial abstraction of the O-methine proton of cycloalkenyl group by the excited carbonyl of the pyrone moiety to produce 1,4-biradical 8. The photoproduct 5 (a, b, c, d), is then formed through bond formation between the alkoxy radical and furan (8
