In this experiment, a series of thermal reactions of 4,4'-disubstituted 2,2'-bis( phenylethynyl) biphenyls with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopenta-2,4-dienone were carried out under neat conditions and in diphenyl ether at temperatures between 260 and 270 degrees C to give rise to 9,10,11,12,13,14-hexaphenylcycloocta[1]phenanthrenes as the adducts in 12-23% yields. We traced these results to the intramolecular [2+2] thermal cyclization of 2,2'-bis(phenylethynyl) biphenyls to form 1,2-diphenylcyclobuta[1]phenanthrenes, which were further trapped as bridged-ketone Diels-Alder adducts, followed by thermal decarbonylative ring opening, which gave rise to the products.
