Abstract

Triptycenes carrying a leaving group at one of the bridgehead carbons afforded the title compound in good to moderate yields when irradiated with a low-pressure Hg lamp. The tropylium ion and the strong CT-complexes of the hydrocarbon were prepared. ... Satisfactory elemental analyses were obtained for all new compounds. ...
