Abstract	The photocycloaddition reactions of cyclohexa-1,3-diene to methyl naphthoates were studied at low temperature in order to prevent facile thermal reactions during irradiation. By product analyses and low-temperature 1H NMR studies of the irradiated mixtures, the primary products were found to be the corresponding exo-[4+4] adducts fused at the 1,4-position of the naphthalene skeleton and the syn-[2+2] adducts fused at the 1,2-position. In the irradiation of methyl 1-naphthoate and cyclohexa-1,3-diene, the endo-[4+2] adduct was also isolated. The lowtemperature IH NMR studies indicated that the syn-[2+2] adduct was the major primary product in the case of methyl 1-naphthoate, and the syn-[2+2] and exo-[4+4] adducts in the case of methyl 2-naphthoate. The results were compared with those in the photocycloaddition reactions to naphthalenecarbonitriles. The regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the primary products were explained by the LUMO-LUMO interaction between the substrates.
