Abstract

Abstract Irradiation of the title compound (6) with a broad spectrum lamp at room temperature afforded 2-methylidene-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalene (8) and 2- methylnaphthalene (7). Apart from 8, irradiation of 6 at− 45 C also afforded 5- methylbenzobicyclo [3.1. 0] hex-2-ene (12) 1-methylidene-2-(2-tolyl) cyclopropane (13) as well as a small amount of 2-methyl-1, 4-dihydronaphthalene (14). Both 12 and 13 ...
