Singlet oxygen addition studies to a series of diene substrates indicate that trisubstituted dienes undergo ene reaction selectively, indicating that the biosynthetic construction of the mycaperoxides, norsesterterpenes isolated from sponges of the genus Mycale, containing a trisubstituted endoperoxide subunit, probably does not proceed via a 4 + 2 singlet oxygen cycloaddition pathway.
