Abstract
The conversion of 3-phenylphthalic anhydride into cyclopent[a]indene ( benzopentalene) by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) is not unique; eightee n biphenyl-based anhydrides, allyl esters and bis-allyl esters can for m benzopentalene. Similarly, triphenylene derivatives with 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4- and 2,3- anhydride or bis-allyl ester functions form cyclopent[h ,i]acephenanthrylene on FVP.
