description

New Extremely Deformed (Biphenylene)Hydrocarbon Skeletons The tetracyclic carbon skeleton 2-oxo[3](1,8)biphenylenophane (4) was synthesized by cyclization of a mixture of the bis(bromomethyl) compounds 7a, b with p-tolylsulfonylmethyl isocyanide. 2-Hydroxy[3](1,8)biphenylenophane (5) and the [3](1,8)biphenylenophane hydrocarbon 6 were obtained by reduction of 4 with LiAlH4 and NaBH4, respectively. X-ray analyses of 4 and 6 illustrate the dramatic deformation of bond lengths and angles in these molecules.
