- -tribromomethyltriphenylene (8) using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of AIBN in CCl4. To their surprise, when compound 8 was subjected to FVP at around 850 °C temperature, only mono- and dibridged compounds (7 and 9) were isolated in overall 20% yield in (13:87) ratio. The structure of the dibridged compound 9 was
