Cyclooctatetraenoquinones. I The synthesis and structure of dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,6-dione

Dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,6-dione ( 18 ), a derivative of 1,2-cyclooctatetraenoquinone ( 4 ), has been synthesized by selenium dioxide oxidation of dibenzo[a,e]cycloocten-5(6H)-one ( 26 ), itself obtained from the reaction of 5,11-dibromo-5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene ( 20 ) with dimet...

Zusammenfassung:Dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,6-dione ( 18 ), a derivative of 1,2-cyclooctatetraenoquinone ( 4 ), has been synthesized by selenium dioxide oxidation of dibenzo[a,e]cycloocten-5(6H)-one ( 26 ), itself obtained from the reaction of 5,11-dibromo-5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene ( 20 ) with dimethyl sulfoxide and collidine. Infrared and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies have shown that the 8-membered ring of 18 is not aromatic.
