✦ Synopsis


According to the observations and data reported by Willstutter and Wuser [4], rather pure COT may have been obtained in their first attempt to synthesize this compound. Note also that independent from Cope and Hochstein [l], Ziegler and Wilms [3b] carefully separated the products obtained by reduction of cyclooctatetraene with Na and found COT and bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene to which they erroneously assigned the 3,6-diene structure.
