https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.AT07318
Photochemical process leading to formation of a cyclobutane upon addition of an @E01994@ alkene to another ground-state alkene or of an @E01994@ α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound to a ground-state alkene. The latter is called a @DT07354@.
Note:
A special case of @PT07451@ is a @AT07319@.
