Abstract
Ethyl 12-oxo-4,11-dihydro-4,11-ethanonaphth[2,3-f]isoindole-1-carboxylate (2) was prepared from 7-tert-butoxynorbornadiene and quantitatively converted to ethyl naphth[2,3-f]isoindole-1-carboxylate (3) by the thermal or photochemical cheletropic reaction. Ethyl naphth[2,3-f]isoindole-1-carboxylate (3) existed in a 2H-form both in solution and as a solid, and gradually dimerized to give a dianthradiazafulvalene derivative under aerobic conditions.
