[Display omitted] •Some new polycyclic compounds can be constructed by intramolecular photoreactions.•High-yield synthesis of angular triquinanes is achieved.•Structures of singlet exciplexes govern the modes of the photoreactions. Photoreactions of 4-pentenyl-1-cyanonaphthalenes yield spirocyclic p...
