β¦ Synopsis
Current theoretical developments concerning the topological aspects of aromaticity in polycyclic hydrocarbons' prompts us to report a facile and synthetically useful preparation of two representatives of these systems, the barbaralyl (l_) and bishomotropylium (1) cations 2'3, by a photochemical synthesis of their hydrocarbon precursors. 1 2 -Thus, the acetone-sensitized photolysis4 of 2-methylene-bicyclo[3.2.2]nona-3,6,8-triene (2): readily prepared in 80% yield by the Wittig reaction of ketone 46 with methylenetriphenylphosphorane, resulted in the rapid disappearance of 2with concomitant formation of ca. 1:l mixture of two isomeric products 5 and 1 in practically quantitative yield. Separation was best effected _) by preparative glpc.'
