Pyrolysis of variously pretreated or untreated samples of chitin ( 1 ) and certain congeners at 150-350 °C afforded a range of platform molecules, as exemplified by compounds 4 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 12 and 13 . All of these products have been fully characterized, including by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Pathways for the formation of them are proposed and theoretical studies of certain aspects of these described.
