The thermal cyclization and photocyclization of 1-(3-phenyl)-1,3-butadiene to 1,8a-dihydronaphthalene were investigated by the MINDO/3 method. The effect of annelation of 1,3,5-hexatriene on the barrier of the thermal reaction was investigated. It was shown that photocyclization takes place by a nonadiabatic path, and that the structure of the final product obeys the Woodward-Hoffman rules. Details of the reaction in the excited state were revealed: (1) The overcoming of a small activation barrier in the S/sub 1/ state (20 kJ/mole); (2) the transition to a minimum on the potential energy surface for the S/sub 1/ state; (3) subsequent nonradiative deactivation to the S/sub 0/ state by the contrary path. Photocyclization in the T/sub 1/ state does not take place on account of the high activation barrier (84 kJ/mole).
