Abstract

A semiempirical methods(PM3-CI-UHF, MM2) for the evaluation of ground and excited state electronic structures of electron-donating substituents are applied to 4, 5', 8-trimethylpsoralen(TMP) with TMP dimer. Three types of product have been proposed; (1) pyrone< >pyrone, (2) pyrone< >furan, (3) hetero dimer resulting from the C$_4$-cycloaddition between the furan end of one TMP moiety and the pyrone end of the other, with cis-syn configuration.
