cf. C.A. 50, 8678f; preceding abstract To 12.4 millimoles LiMe in 25 cc. Et2O under N were added very gradually 6.2 millimoles finely powd. (o-BzC6H4)2 (I), m. 166-7°, yielding 2 g. mixture (II) of diastereoisomers, C28H26O2, m. 149-77°, from which was isolated by repeated crystallization 39% [2-PhCMe(OH)C6H4]2, m. 199.5-200° (from MeOH). II (1.1 g.) in 22 g. warm glacial AcOH and a few drops concentrated HCl was boiled 10 min., giving 94-6% 5-methyl-5,7-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-dibenzo-1,3,6-cycloheptatriene (III), m. 209-10° (from AcOEt). III (1 g.) in 30 cc. glacial AcOH was refluxed 6 hrs. with 5 cc. concentrated HI and 0.2 g. red P, poured into 70 cc. H2O, filtered, extracted with AcOEt, refiltered, and the filtrate evaporated, giving 37% 5-methyl-5,7-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-dibenzo-1,3-cycloheptadiene, m. 127.5-29° (from MeOH), 1 g. of which in 15 cc. CCl4 was boiled 0.5 hr. with 0.5 g. N-bromosuccinimide (freeing HBr), giving 88% III. I (13.5 g.) was shaken 3 days with a suspension of Ph3P:CH2 in 200 cc. Et2O (prepared from 0.1 mole Ph3PMeBr and 0.12 mole PhLi), centrifuged and the supernatant liquor treated with Et2O and recentrifuged, and treated with H2O yielding 19.2 g. insoluble Ph3PO and from the Et2O mother liquors (after washing with H2O) 11.4 g. [o-PhC(:CH2)C6H4]2 (IV), m. 100-1° (from EtOH). IV in AcOH heated with a few drops HCl gave III. IV (1 g.) in Me2CO, oxidized 12 hrs. at 40° with 5.4 millimoles KMnO4, heated with MeOH, and filtered gave 71% I. IV (1 g.) in 20 cc. absolute Et2O was shaken 8 hrs. under N with 1 g. Na wire followed by decantation, and titration with 0.25N MeOH (in Et2O) to a colorless endpoint, washing with H2O, and evaporation of the Et2O gave 23% Va or Vb, rectangles, m. 177-8° (from Me2CO). Inasmuch as the ultraviolet absorption spectrum of Va or Vb (in cyclohexane) resembles those of 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene and bisdiphenylenecyclobutane, structure Va is the more probable one. The spectrum of Vb would be expected to be similar to that of (2-MeC6H4)2. When 1 g. IV in 30 cc. Et2O was shaken 3 days with 1 g. Na, the reaction was more extensive (about 75% as indicated by the MeOH titration); a diastereoisomeric mixture (VI) (52.5%), m. 196-218° (from Me2CO), was isolated; this when chromatographed on Al2O3 using cyclohexane-CCl4 as developer gave 9.4% 5,8-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-dibenzo-1,3-cycloöctadiene (VII), m. 240-40.5°. Va (0.1 g.) in 15 cc. (CH2OMe)2 shaken 2 hrs. with 0.5 g. Na showed that about 93% had reacted and 71% of the calculated amount of VI, m. 194-205°, was isolated. The 5,8-di-Na complex (VIII) corresponding to VII was prepared under fully described conditions, from 7.3 millimoles IV and 1 g. Na; VIII was added to 8.4 millimoles (Me2CBr)2, m. 168-70°, in Et2O. The decolorized mixture was washed with H2O, freed from Et2O and (Me2C:)2, taken up in cyclohexane, chromatographed on Al2O3 and eluted, with CCl4, giving 30% Va and 9% IV. VIII reacted with HgCl2 in Et2O, giving 27% Va and 8% IV. A suspension of VII (prepared from 14 millimoles IV) treated 2 days with 30 millimoles Ph3B in Et2O gave 68% (Ph3BH)Na (as indicated by the H evolved on addition of MeOH) and 2.45 g. 5,8-diphenyl-1,2-3,4-dibenzocycloöctatetraene (IX), m. 231-1.5° (from AcOH or Me2CO). VIII (prepared from 0.56 millimole Va) treated with Ph3B in Et2O gave 64% IX. By heating 0.3 millimoles IX in 5 cc. AcOH 10 min. with 2 millimoles CrO3 in 2 cc. AcOH, followed by addition of H2O, extraction with Et2O, evaporation, solution in C6H6, chromatographing on Al2O3 and eluting with CHCl3, 69% I was obtained. Shaken 3 hrs. with 0.1 g. Raney Ni, 0.41 millimoles IX in 35 cc. dioxane took up 2 moles H, giving 87% VII. A Stuart-Briegleb calotte model indicates that IX can be free from strain only when the 2 olefin linkages in the cyclotetraene ring show a cis-cis configuration. 18 references.
