Abstract
Flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of 1-chloro-1-(pyren-1-yl)ethene at 100 0 degrees C gives the combustion emittant cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene in goo d yields; the identification of 1-(pyren-1-yl)ethyne as an intermediat e in the range 600-900 degrees C indicates that cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene is formed via an ethynyl-ethylidene carbene rearrangement.
