Pyrolysis of 1,6-diphenylhexa-1,5-diyne-cis-3-ene at 800-1000 °C leads to a mixture of 1- and 2-phenylbiphenylene, along with triphenylene. Formation of the two biphenylenes is taken as strong evidence of the rearrangement of a p-benzyne into a m-benzyne through a shift of one of the phenyl groups. Copyright
