2201 12. 6-nor-6-AthyZ-9,lO-dihydrolysergsaure-Summary. Several isopropylidene-, benzylidene-and benzhydrylidene-norbornadiene derivatives (11, 16) have been synthesized. The [2n+2n] cycloadditions leading to the tetracyclic isomers 12 and 17 resp. upon direct photoexcitation proceed practically quantitatively in the case of the trienes 11, much less specifically, however, with 16. Sensitization by acetone or fluorenone allows the isolation of the quadricyclanes 17 in 20-90~o yields.
