Abstract

We previously developed an efficient access to highly functionalized tricyclobutabenzenes via repeated [2+2] cycloaddition of benzyne and ketene silyl acetal. Experimental study on these strained compounds revealed that they were easily converted to the corresponding valence isomer, hexaradialene. Furthermore, it turned out that the reaction was influenced by the substituents on the four-membered ring, which is discussed in this presentation. Also discussed will be the X-ray structure of the hexaradialene.
