presence of t-BuOK in dry THF these compounds underwent isomerization to the corresponding diallenes, followed by a tandem anionic cyclization and aromatization to 2-vinylthiophene or selenophene derivatives. Some mechanistic studies indicated competition between freeradical and anionic cycloaromatization. The latter is influenced by the nature of the bridging heteroatom, substitution of the allenyl group

A series of novel π-conjugated bis-propargylic sulfides, selenides, sulfoxides and sulfones have been prepared. In the presence of amine bases these compounds underwent facile isomerization to the corresponding allenes, followed by a tandem cyclization and aromatization of the latter via a diradical intermediate. While the reactions of sulfones and sulfoxides were almost spontaneous and proceeded in
