Flash vacuum pyrolysis of the allyl esters 2 (X=O, S, CH2, CO) at 900°C (10-2 Torr) gives dibenzofurans, dibenzothiophenes, fluorenes, and fluorenones respectively as the major products. The mechanism involves the phenyl radical intermediates 1 which equilibrate by intramolecular hydrogen transfer via six-membered transition states, prior to cyclisation.
