A synthesis for (E)-sesquifulvatriene 4 is described.When 4 is thermolysed (80 - 130 deg C) or photolysed in solution in order to bring about a 16?-electrocyclisation no monomeric products are obtained.Vapor phase thermolysis (500 deg C) yields azulene (42percent) and benzene probably via initial 10?-electrocyclisation.
