Abstract
The reactivity of some novel Π-conjugated bis-propargylic sulfides, sulfoxides and sulfones under basic conditions has been investigated. These compounds undergo isomerization to the corresponding diallenes, followed by a tandem cyclization and aromatization of the latter via a diradical intermediate. Surprisingly, we have found that the rate of the cyclization step was independent of the nature of the bridging functionality. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
