“…Benzopentalene (1) (cyclopent[a]indene) dimerizes above 70°C in CD 2 Cl 2 solution, but a monomer 1 H NMR spectrum is available, recorded at 70°C. 17 There is a low-resolution 1 H NMR spectrum for the more symmetrical dibenzopentalene [1,2 : 4,5-dibenzopentalene (2)]. 18 The isomeric dibenzopentalene 1,2 : 5,6-dibenzopentalene (3) is so far unknown, as is the species cyclopent[b,c]acenaphthylene (4), formally a fusion of pentalene and naphthalene moieties, which has been invoked as a pivotal transient intermediate in high temperature, gas-phase reactions including the unimolecular rearrangement 19 of pyracylene and the interconversions of ethynyl-substituted acenaphthylenes and bisethynylnaphthalenes.…”

“…[8] The smallest member of the series, biphenylene (1), affords benzopentalene (2) upon pyrolysis. [9,10] The rearrangement of 1 to 2 formally involves 1,2-shifts of a C-H bond and a C-C bond. Such 1,2-shifts, shown for both biphenylene and a generic system in Scheme 1, are observed or proposed for mechanisms of many hydrocarbon rearrangements, and in many cases are referred to as benzene ring contractions.…”

“…Phenylenes comprise a fascinating class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that yield other PAHs upon flash vacuum pyrolysis . The smallest member of the series, biphenylene ( 1 ), affords benzopentalene ( 2 ) upon pyrolysis . The rearrangement of 1 to 2 formally involves 1,2‐shifts of a C—H bond and a C—C bond.…”

“…[10] Das Stammsystem 4 der unsymmetrischen benzanellierten Pentalen-Derivate wurde offenkundig bereits von Lothrop in den frühen 1940er Jahren synthetisiert, wenngleich er seinerzeit annahm, Biphenylen hergestellt zu haben. [11] Vor kurzem ist über zwei neue variable Wege zu unsymmetrischen Benzopentalenen berichtet worden. Diederich und Mitarbeiter nutzen eine kaskadenartig ablaufende Carbopalladierungsreaktion (Schema 7), [12] [8] Unsymmetrische Dibenzopentalene lassen sich auch durch ein einstufiges Verfahren herstellen, das kürzlich von Erker, Yamaguchi und Mitarbeitern vorgestellt wurde.…”
