Flash vacuum pyrolysis (f.v.p.) of [2,3-13C2]triphenylene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (c. 22·5% 13C2) at 950°C gave a pyrolysate which was analysed by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. The principal product was [2,3-13C2]triphenylene. The second major product was a 1 : 2 : 1 mixture of [4,7- 13C2]-, [4,6-13C2]- and [5,6-13C2]-cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylenedioxy-7a-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-inden-1(7aH)-one (2) at 630� gave a good yield of 2-ethenyl-4,4-ethylenedioxy-1-methylcyclohex-1-ene (6), but at 740� p-cresol was the major product. The diene acetal (6) was also obtained by pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylene- dioxy-lβ-hydroxy-7a-methyl-1,2,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4H-indene-1α-carbonitrile (3) at 600�. Pyrolytic reactions of 7a-methyl-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-indene-1,5(6H)-dione (1), 5,5-ethylenedithio-7a- methyl-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-1-one (7) and of 1,1-ethylenedioxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex- 3-ene (8) are also described. Mild hydrolysis of the diene acetal (6) afforded 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-one (9) which upon brief treatment with dry hydrogen chloride in chloroform at 0� gave, after preparative thin-layer chromatography, a low yield of pure 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (11). The diene acetal (6) failed to undergo Diels-Alder reactions, even at high pressures with Lewis acid catalysts, and it reacted anomalously with two molecules of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione; the isomeric diene acetal 1-ethenyl-3,3-ethylenedioxy-6-methylcyclohex-1-ene (18) gave the expected Diels-Alder adduct with this reagent.

Sensitized irradiation (benzophenone, 0�, N2, pyrex filter, medium pressure Hg lamp) of dimethyl tricyclo[4.2.1.02,5]nona-3,7-diene-3,4-dicarboxylate (11) in (E)-1,2-dichloroethene yielded a mixture of 1 : 1 adducts (13) and (14) by site selective [2 π+2 π] cycloaddition at the cyclobutene π-bond. Reduction of the (Z)-dichloro isomer(13) with lithium aluminium hydride formed the related diol (16) which is the immediate precursor to the cyclic ether (18). Dechlorination of (18) with zinc in ethanol forms the title diene (19). Thermolysis of the polycyclic diester (20) affords the fragmentation products cyclopentadiene and dimethyl benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate. In contrast, the title compound (19) containing the cyclic ether ring was more stable and yielded the novel isomer (28) as the major product only upon flash vacuum pyrolysis at 560�(1.5 × 10-2 Torr). This difference in behaviour is attributed to a pinching group effect exerted by the cyclic ether present in (19).

Naphthalene-1,2,-dicarboxylic anhydrides with neighbouring phenyl substituents give on flash vacuum pyrolysis (850-900°/0.02-0.04 mm) ring-contracted carbenes which insert into the phenyl groups. The 8- phenyl anhydride (7) gives acephenanthrylene (10) as the major product, and the 3-phenyl anhydride (15) gives 1,2 : 4,5-dibenzopentalene (indeno [2,1-a]indene) (18). The anhydrides (7) and (15) were � synthesized by pyrolysis of the corresponding 1-naphthylmethyl propynoates (2) and (13) through a new one-step process of intramolecular Diels -Alder addition/retro-Diels -Alder elimination of acetylene. 1-Phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (19) on pyrolysis at 960°/0.02 mm gives fluoranthene (11) as the major product. The behaviour of the 1-C6D5 compound (24) suggests involvement of a radical cyclization process.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of 5-azido-1-aryltetrazoles results in triple N<sub>2</sub> elimination and formation of aryl isocyanides RNC, which rearrange in part to aroylnitriles RCN under the reaction conditions. Similar FVP of 5-azido-1-arenesulfonyltetrazoles generates a compound absorbing in the IR spectrum (77 K) at 2090 cm<sup>-1 </sup>and assigned the structure of arenesulfonyl isocyanide, ArSO<sub>2</sub>NC <b>11</b>. FVP at temperatures above 600 <sup>o</sup>C results in progressively more nitrile ArSO<sub>2</sub>CN <b>12</b>. Compound <b>11</b> also disappears on warming above -80 <sup>o</sup>C

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1-(alkyn-2′-oyl)-3-methylpyrazoles at 650°/0.03 mm forms pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ols, often in high yield, which may bear substituents at C2, C3 or C7. In the absence of a 3-methyl group in the precursor, N-ethynylpyrazoles are formed in low yield. The formation of both types of product is interpreted as involving 3-(N-pyrazolyl)propadienones formed by N1 → N2 migration of the N-alkynoyl group with inversion of the three-carbon chain. The fused-ring structure of 2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ol (25) was established by X-ray crystallography of the O-benzoyl derivative (27).
