Abstract

In an effort to determine the products and mechanism of the truly homogeneous thermal dissociation of the aromatic hydrocarbon tetralin, we have examined the products formed from this compound upon energization by infrared multiphoton excitation and SiF,-sensitized infrared thermal activation. Six major products are formed in these reactions, three of which appear to be primary dissociation products; these three are benzocyclobutene, o- ...
