โฆ Synopsis
The photochemical cycloaddition of acetylene to benzene and its simple derivatives leading ultimately to cyclooctatetraenes has enjoyed rather limited applicability.
Previously, successful examples were confined to electron deficient acetylenes or activated aromatic systems.'
Very recently, Bryce-Smith and co-workers' have reported the inefficient production of cyclooctatetraene (@ < 0.001) upon irradiation of benzene and acetylene, and have claimed the fonaa-
