Light-switchable TAD reaction manifold. After the visible light-induced deactivation of 1, aliquots of o-methylbenzophenone 3 and trans-5-decene 7 (1:1 eq.) were added to give a non-reactive mixture (2 + 3 + 7, 0.15 M, CDCl3) whilst the visible light is kept switched on. Subsequently, UV light acts as a gate to selectively switch the reaction outcome between photoenol products 5a+5b and the thermal TAD addition product 8
