Abstract
This paper describes the metal-ammonia reduction of several bicyclic compounds including dibenzobarrelene, triptycene, and symmetrical and unsymmetrical benztriptycenes. Although previous studies indicate that triptycene undergoes ring opening on reaction with potassium in THF, successful reduction in ammonia has been accomplished for all of these compounds with selection of proper conditions. Triptycene exhibita rather unusual ...
