摘要

Treatment of trans-1, 2-diiodobenzocyclobutene with dimethylamine leads to the formation of a, a, a'-trisdimethylaminoo-xylene and a small amount of a-dimethylamino-o- tolualdehyde. The formation of these products is rationalized by postulating an opening of the four-membered ring initiated by nucleophilic attack of dimethylamine.
