The thermal conversion of 1‐phenyl‐1‐buten‐3‐yne ( 1 ) into the cycloisomerization products naphthalene ( 2 ), azulene ( 3 ), and 1‐methylene‐1 H ‐indene ( 4 ) has been studied at temperatures between 550 and 1000°C, a reaction time of approximately 0.3 s at 13 Torr (FVP) and at low partial pressures in a quartz flow system. The results obtained by FVP as well as in the presence of chemically modified diluent gases suggest a predominance of unimolecular cycloisomerizations to 2 and 3 which are, however, always accompanied by radical cyclization reactions to 2 and 4 even under FVP conditions if temperatures above 550°C are applied.
