4//-Pyran, 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl

Some 2//-pyrans are capable of autooxidation.172,372 Thus whereas 2,2,4,6-tetraphenyl-2f/-pyran (310a) was completely inert,372 the condensed... 

As a rule dipyrylenes are characterized by chemical and thermal stability, but under special conditions cleavage of the ethylene bond can be achieved. Thus, on heating with thionyl chloride followed by treatment with water, the tetraphenyl derivative (52c) is converted into 2,6-diphenyl-4l/-pyran-4-one.50,108 Only decomposition products were isolated with the corresponding methoxyphenyl derivative (52d).
