Acephenanthrylenes from flash vacuum thermolysis of diarylmethylidenecycloproparenes
Halton, Brian
, p. 1077 - 1079 (2006)
Upon flash vacuum thermolysis at 750°C fluorenylidenecyclopropa[b] naphthalene (1) undergoes opening of the three-membered ring and rearrangement to give a range of C24H14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Dibenz[e.l]- and -[e.k]acephenanthrylene (7) and (12), respectively, have been identified while the plausible naphth[1,2-e]- and [2,3-e]acephenanthrylenes (9) and (14) were not detected. With diphenylmethylidenecyclopropa[b]naphthalene (2) cyclodehydrogenation and rearrangement also provide C24H14 polycycles; dibenz[e.k]acephenanthrylene (12) is identified and dibenz[a.e]aceanthrylene (15) is a proposed product.
Attempted synthesis of Fjord-region containing polycyclic fluoranthenes reveals a steric-driven double Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement
Cho, Bongsup P.,Zhou, Li
, p. 1535 - 1538 (2007/10/03)
A double Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement takes place commonly in the synthesis of sterically hindered polycyclic fluoranthenes via cyclodehydration reactions and the extent of intramolecular steric crowding within the initially formed tertiary cationic intermediate controls the equilibrium between the expected and the rearranged product.
