Abstract Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 3-alkyl-4-methylene-1, 2, 3-benzotriazines gives products derived from benzocyclobutane N-alkylimines and to a lesser extent from 2- methylene-benzazetidines. Benzocyclobutane N-phenylimine is formed in high yield by flash pyrolytic elimination of HCI from N-phenyl-2-methyl benzimidoyl chloride.
