Abstract
The unstable hydrocarbon acepleiadene has been generated as a transient intermediate from 5,10-dihydroacepleiadene-5,10-sulphone. Acepleiadene, which is much less stable than the closely related acepleiadylen, was characterized both as its dimer and as its N-phenylmaleimide adduct. A new sulphide synthesis and the first example of the photolytic decomposition of a sulphone were encountered in the course of this work. In addition, a considerable amount of steric hindrance was found to exist in 5,10-dihydroacepleiadene-5,10-dione and its monoethylene ketal.
