Sodium reacts with o-xylylene dibromide in boiling dioxan to give a 6% yield of s-dibewcycloocfdzene (I) and much smaller yields of di-o-tolylethane and s-tribenzcyclododecafriene (11). In boiling ether no apparent reaction occurs unless a small quantity of ethyl acetate is added, whereupon o-xylene (5%), di-o-tolylethane (6%), the dodecatriene (11). and a product which may be 3: 4: 7: 8-dibenzo*. 4cyclo-As: 7-nonadiene (111) are formed, together with a high yield of an amorphous product having a composition identical witft that of (111). The stereochemistry of the hydrocarbons (I) and (11) is discussed; the structure of (I), which can theoretically exist in two isomeric forms, is established.WHEN a solution of o-xylylene dibromide in dry dioxan was refluxed in the presence of an excess of" powdered" sodium, a slow but spontaneous reaction occurred, which was complete after 15-20 hours' bolhng. From the product there have been isolated s-dzbenzcyclooctadiene (I), m, p. 108-5O, in ca. 6% yield, and much smaller quantities of ap-di-o-tolylethane, C, H, Me-CH,-CH,-C, H, Me, m. p. 65'. and s-tvibenzcyclododecafriene
