Abstract
Thermal electrocyclization reactions of benzooctatetraenes and benzodecapentaenes substituted with R=H, Cl, and methyl were studied experimentally and computationally. Methyl and unsubstituted benzooctatetraenes and benzodecapentaenes give the [4.2.0]bicyclooctadiene products by 8π,6π-electrocyclization. Chlorine substitution led to thermal rearrangement of the initially formed 8π,6π-electrocyclization intermediates to give unprecedented products.
