โฆ Synopsis
1,8-Didehydro[l&]annulene (XII) is an unusually stable and highly aromatic annulene prepared and extensively investigated by F. Sondheimer and his coworkers (1). The dienyne ketones (II and IX) obtained from enyne aldehydes (I and VIII), key intermediates in the syntheses of tetrasubstituted tetradehydro[18]annulenes (2, 3),appeared to be potential precursors of the present syntheses of tetrasubstituted 1,8-didehydro[l&]annulenes. The unsymmetrical dienyne ketones (V9 pale yellow crystals, mp 75.5-76.20~. Found: C, 85.91; H, 7.64%. Calcd. for C17H1eO: C, 85.67; H, 7.61%) was prepared by the condensation of pinacolone with I. After several experimentations 9 cyclic dimerisation of dienyne ketones (II, V and IX) to yield l&-membered cyclic glycols (III , VI and X) could be realieed I: R=Ph VIII: R= But R=R'=Ph -..

Sumnary: Tri-t-butylcarboxybisdehydro[lrl]annulene was converted by the Curtius reactiog into unstable aminoannulene, which could be characterized as N-acetyl derivative. The pKa-value of the aminoannulene reflects aromatic nature of the annulene nucleus. Aminoannulenes are interesting compounds bei
