Photoaddition of Ethyl 2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylate to 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene

On irradiation (350 nm) in the presence of excess 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, the newly synthesized title compound 5 affords as main products the unexpected cyclopropylpyrrolidine 10 (50%) and the spiro-oxetane 9 (25%).
