Abstract

The title 1, 8-naphthylene–ethynylene compounds underwent thermal isomerization into acenaphtho [1, 2-a] pyrene derivatives, and the structure of the new polycyclic aromatic system was established by X-ray analysis. The mechanism of the isomerization is explained in terms of sequential cyclization reactions via biradical intermediates followed by hydrogen migration.
