Prototype of a new aromatization reaction : thermal rearrangement of 1,3‐hexadiene‐5‐yne ( 1 ) to benzene ( 3 ) via isobenzene 2 , a highly reactive benezene isomer. Trapping experiments with styrene and the behavior of arenes containing 1 as a subunit indicate that this isomerization is also suitable for preparing condensed arenes and fullerene fragments.
