The reaction between benzyl chloride and potassium amide in liquid ammonia has been shown to yield, in addition to stilbene as the main product, considerable quantities of 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylcyclobutane. The isomer of this compound formed in this reaction is believed to be one that has not been reported previously.
