Abstract
In this work an attempt was made to synthesize a species containing two benzocyclobutenyl groups in one molecule. It would be of interest to compare the properties and reactivity of such a compound and its percursors with those of benzocyclobutene itself, and its precursors. A number of substituted benzocyclobutenes have been reported in the literature, including benzo [1,2:4,5'] dicyclobutene with two fused fourmembered rings.No compound has been reported, however, with two benzocyclobutenyl groups in one molecule.
