Abstract

Abstract The cycloaddition of 1, 2, 3, 4 tetrafluoro-or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8- octafluorodibenzobarrelene with tetraphenyl-1, 3-cyclopentadienone at 185–195 C affords an unstable adduct which cycloreverts to 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrafluoro-or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8- octafluoroanthracene and 1, 2, 3, 4-tetraphenylbenzene in excellent yields.
