Cyclophanes / Diels-Alder reactions / Cyanoacetylenes / [2 +4] Cycloadditions / Barrelenophanes / Semibullvalenophanes
The structures of the 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 addition products of dicyanoacetylene (2) to [2.2]paracyclophane (I) have been determined by X-ray structural analysis as 3 and 5, respectively. In contrast to literature reports, the latter possesses the "cros-sed" double barrelene configuration. On irradiation 3 isomerizes to the semibullvalenophane 4 as was also shown by Xray structural analysis.
