Barrelene = bicyclo octa-2,5,7-triene

Norbornadiene adds typical dienophiles in a homo-Diels-Alder reaction whereby, for example, the adduct 86 is obtained with tetra-cyanoethylene. Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and dicyanoacetyl-ene add to barrelene (bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5,7-triene) in a similar way. °... [Pg.101]

One of the first examples of the di-7t-methane rearrangement was found in the photochemical conversion of bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5,7-triene (barrelene, 1) to tricyclo[5.1.0.0 ]octa-2,5-diene (semibullvalene, 2). ... [Pg.1146]

Cyclooctatetraene (COT), a An non-aromatic hydrocarbon, is only one of the many (CH)s compounds, but it is a central character. The other isomers, many of which interconvert with COT by thermal and photochemical pathways, include bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,3,7-triene (BOT), semibullvalene (SB), barrelene (B), tricyclo[3.3.0.0 ]octa-3,7-diene (TOD), the cyclobutadiene dimers (CBD), tetracyclo[4.2.0.0. " 0 ]oct-7-ene (TOE), cubane (C), tetracyclo[4.2.0.0. 0 ] octene - the intramolecular Diels-Alder isomer of BOT (IDA), tetracy-... [Pg.214]
