Abstract

1, 4-Dehydronaphthalene biradicals generated by thermolysis of aromatic enediynes can be trapped with the nitroxide radical TEMPO. The isolated products, however, are not the direct trapping products but 1, 4-naphthoquinones resulting from the homolysis of N O bonds of trapping products.
