Thermal decomposition of the lithium salt of trans-β-nona-2,4,6-trienyl>acrolein tosylhydrazone (8) results in the formation of pentacyclo2,12.03,7.04,11>dodeca-5,9-diene (12), exo- and endo-tricyclo2,5>dodeca-3,7,9,11-tetraenes (9 and 10), 1,2-benzocycloocta-1,3,7-triene (11), and syn- and anti-9-(5-pyrazolyl)bicyclonona-2,4,7-trienes (14 and 13).The low-temperature photolysis of the sodium salt of tosylhydrazone 8 gives anti-9-(2-cyclopropen-1-yl)bicyclonona-2,4,6-triene (20), which affords pentacyclo2,4.03,10.05,9>dodeca-6-11-diene (22) on thermolysis.Hydrocarbon 12 was formed in the photolysis of the sodium salt of trans-β-nona-2,4,7-trienyl>acrolein tosylhydrazone (15; available by thermal rearrangement of tosylhydrazone 8) as the sole C12H12 product.Structure determinations and mechanistic investigations are discussed.
