Abstract Light‐induced transformation of atropisomeric and achiral enones displays divergent reactivity. Photocyclization leading to 3,4‐dihydroquinolin‐2‐one was observed with achiral enone carboxamide, whereas the atropisomeric enone carboxamides underwent hydrogen abstraction leading to spiro‐β‐lactams. Detailed photochemical, photophysical, and theoretical investigations have provided insight into this divergent reactivity and selectivity.
