Abstract

Using mainly base dehydrobromination reactions of carbocyclic 8-membered bromides, a variety of acetylenic and cumulenic compounds were isolated or postulated as transient intermediates. The physical and chemical properties of the isolable presumably planar 8-membered ring compounds were investigated. Trapping experiments were used to confirm the transitory existence of the unstable intermediates.
