Abstract

Abstract: Phenylcarbene and diphenylcarbene both undergo carbene-carbene rearrangements in the gas phase above 250'to give cycloheptatrienylidene and 2- phenylcycloheptatrienylidene, respectively. These aromatic carbenes have been detected by formation of their dimers, heptafulvalene and 2, 2'-diphenylheptafulvalene (the first recorded stable heptafulvalene). p-Methylphenylcarbene also undergoes this ...
