Fulvenes and thermochromic ethylenes. Part L. The reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone with (2-naphthylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane
Abstract
The reaction between diphenylcyclopropenone and (2-naphthylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane does not give the expected triafulvene, but 2-(2-naphthylmethyl)-3,4-diphenylphenanthrene.
