Abstract

Some reactions of benzobarbaralone 3 have been studied. Ring expansion occurs in reaction of 3 with diazomethane-lithium chloride to yield benzobullvalone 5 and the spirooxirane 6. The tosylhydrazone of 5 was converted to the fluxional benzobullvalene 9. Decarbonylation of 3 to benzocyclooactatetraene occurs upon irradiation. On reaction with Fe2CO)9, 3 gives a σ-π allyl tricarbonyliron complex, 11, with rearranged skeleton.
