• feature an α-methoxy-γ-pyrone moiety and are proposed to act as a natural sunscreen due to their UV-light-absorbent properties
• two categories: those featuring a cyclohexadiene core and others with a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene core
• (-)-crispatene isolated from the mollusc Elysia crispata in 1981 by Ireland

cycloaddition
• in 1979, Ireland and Scheuer found that the cyclohexadiene core can be photochemically converted to the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene core in vivo and in vitro
• this suggests that both compounds are directly derived from a common acyclic precursor

Please explain why, under Lewis acid catalysis, 6π electrocyclization is effectively outcompeted bythe [π4a + π2a] cycloaddition to give the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene moiety seen below.
