In connection with the recent development of orbital symmetry theory (2), it seems of interest to study the course of the photochemical and thermal decarbonylation of cyclic unsaturated ketones.

โฆ Synopsis
In a previous communication, we described the first example of l,&cycloaddition reaction of dehydrobenzene(1).
In this communication we report another example of this type of reaction.
In 1967, Ciabattoni, Crowley and Kende described the isolation of 6,7benzobicyclo[3.2.2]nona-3,6,8-trien-2-one (I) from the reaction mixture of tropone and benzyne (2). Ne examined this reaction to search for 1,6rcycloaddition product(s) of dehydrobenzene and isolated, in addition to the main product I, an isomer having a novel ring system, 7,8-benzobicyclo[4.2.llnona-2,4,7-trien+-one (II), as follows.

In a previous study we found that when ll,ll-dichloro-1,6-methano[lOlannulene (1) was treated with methyllithium in the presence of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPIBF), only one carbenoid derived product was obtained. 2 The structure of this
