Abstract

(100" C) a mixture of 17, 16, and AlC13, 1H-heptachloronaphthalene (18) and bis (pentachloropheny1) methane were obtained. Aldehyde 24, treated with Rh (PPh3) 3Cl, gave W-heptachloronaphthalene, which waa prepared in pure form for the first time. Under similar treatment, aldehyde 26 gave 18. The X-ray structures of indene 2 and dihydronaphthalene 11 are reported and discussed. Some probable mechanisms, as well ...
