Abstract

Abstract Pyrolysis of 1,6‐diphenylhexa‐1,5‐diyne‐cis‐3‐ene at 800–1000°C leads to a mixture of 1‐ and 2‐phenylbiphenylene, along with triphenylene. Formation of the two biphenylenes is taken as strong evidence of the rearrangement of a p‐benzyne into a m‐benzyne through a shift of one of the phenyl groups.
