Abstract

Reactions of naphtho[b]cyclopropene with 2-substituted tropone derivatives in chloroform under the presence of ytterbium complex afforded two types of cyclic ether compounds via a [8π+2σ] type cycloaddition reactions. On the other hand, the similar reactions but using benzene as a solvent proceeded through a [6π+2π] type cycloaddition path to form cyclic ketone compounds.
