Abstract: | Acenaphthylene-1-13C (1) rearranges at high temperatures in a flow system to give acenaphthylene-5-13C (2) and acenaphthylene-4-13C (3) in a 1:1 ratio as the primary products. This apparent migration of a labeled carbon atom from the bridge to the most remote sites in the molecule can be understood in terms of a benzenoid ring contraction mechanism. |
