β¦ Synopsis
Photolyses of 1-alkoxy-9-diazoanthrones 12 in benzene induce abstraction of hydrogen from the side chain, followed by cyclization (---) 15 --~ 16) or disproportionation (--~ 17 + 18) of the intervening biradicals 20. In alcohols, reduction of triplet anthronylidenes (314 ~ 21 ~ 22) competes with the formation of 20, and intramolecular electron transfer of 20 leads eventually to the acetals 24.

The title carbene (1) is shown to produce the benzvalene skeleton by stereospecific intramolecular 1,4 addition and not by classic cyclopropanation. Cyclopentadienylanion (1) reacts with chlorocarbene generated from dichloromethane and methyl lithium to give benzvalene (4).' Analogous reactions have
