Disrotatory bicycle pedals: Irradiation of the title compound in the solid state gives the all-trans isomer directly in a crystal-to-crystal reaction. This threefold cis-trans photoisomerization is proposed to proceed by a two-stage mechanism that is consistent with two simultaneous bicyclepedal processes occurring in disrotatory fashion about the central bond.
