New Dienophiles and Dienes, III. - On the Addition of Cyanoacetylene to [2.2]ParacyclophaneHeating a benzene solution of [2.2]paracyclophane (2) in the presence of excess cyanoacetylene (1b) at 160°C in a sealed ampoule provides the novel 2:1-addition product 10, as well as the previously obtained cycloadducts 7-9. It is suggested that these Nenitzescu hydrocarbon systems are formed via the cyclobutadiene intermediates 17 and 18. This hypothesis is supported by the isolation of the side-products 1,2,4-and 1,2,3-tricyanobenzene (11 and 12). When a mixture of 7 and 8 is pyrolyzed at 220°C the novel dihydronaphthalene 24 is formed; the mechanism of this isomerization is discussed. The structures of 10 and 24 were confirmed by X-ray structure determination.
