Notizen:
The gas-phase pyrolysis of 1,4-diphenyl-1-buten-3-yne (1) was investigated in the temperature range between 600 and 800°C and in the presence of different carrier gases (N2, N2/toluene, H2). By a detailed analysis (GC, GC/MS, GC/FTIR) all volatile reaction products were identified and quantitatively determined. Besides several fragmentation products (substituted benzenes C7-C10) and some carbon-rich deposits the main products are benzene (4), naphthalene (5) as well as 1- (2) and 2-phenylnaphthalene (3). Under similar conditions 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1-buten-3-yne (1a) furnished mainly fluorobenzene (4a), naphthalene (5), 1- (2a) and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)naphthalene (3a). - If sufficient H atoms are available in the reactive gas phase the conversion of 1/1a is predominantly controlled by radical processes. The cycloisomerization of 1/1a presumably starts with previously formed vinyl radicals, which might initiate a multi-step reaction cascade involving a 1,x-H shift and homoallyl reactions. However, if the reaction system is poor in H atoms (or other chain carrier radicals), a cycloisomerization path via vinyl-idene carbene species and their subsequent stabilization by intramolecular 1,6-C,H insertion into 3/3a obviously dominates the reaction events. It is concluded that the 1,2-dihydro-2-phenyl-1-naphthyl radicals 19/19a and the 1,2-dihydro-1-phenyl-2-naphthyl radicals 21/21a are important intermediates which are not only precursors of the aromatics 2/2a and 3/3a but also thought to be key intermediates for the most important degradation products 4/4a and 5.
