This review discusses the structural variations in the products of photochemical cycloadditions of olefins to enones, and cites the various ways in which the reaction may be synthetically useful. Die photochemische Cycloaddition von konjugierten Enonen an Alkene stellt in vielen Fällen eine präparativ brauchbare Methode zur Herstellung von sonst nur schwer zugänglichen Cyclobutan-Derivaten und ihren Folgeprodukten dar. In dieser Übersicht werden nach einer allgemeinen Besprechung der Reaktion die Strukturmöglichkeiten der Cycloadditionsprodukte und die synthetische Anwendbarkeit dieser Additionsreaktion anhand von Beispielen aufgezeigt.
