    Notes: Addition to the diphenyldiketone 11 of the reagent prepared from rigorously dried cerium(III) chloride and phenyllithium yields the tetraphenyldiol endo,endo-13 after extended periods of time. The configuration of this diol, which was previously assigned the (incorrect) configuration exo,exo-13, is established by an X-ray diffraction analysis. Dehydration of endo,endo-13 with sulphuric acid in acetic acid affords a mixture of the oxatwistane 16 and the tetraphenyldiene 17 (3:1). Only the latter is obtained from endo,endo-13 by the action of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether in dichloromethane solution. While attempts at allylic bromination of 17 with N-bromosuccinimide in conventional solvents inevitably lead to complete decomposition, use of cyclohexane as solvent allows to obtain solutions of allylic dibromides that can be cyclised with the zinc-copper couple to afford tetraphenylbarbaralane 9 in 58% yield based on 17. Thus, 9 is now available from the diphenyldiketone 11 in only three steps with an overall yield of 42%. - The autoxidation of 9, studied in various solvents, yields mixtures of products of which the epoxyendoperoxides 20 and 21, the unsaturated ketone 22, and a labile, probably oligomeric or polymeric product C are isolated in pure form. The structures 21 and 22 are elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis and independent synthesis, respectively. On warming, 20 rearranges into 21. Traces of acid convert the unknown autoxidation product A instantaneously into the unsaturated ketone 22. - Rate studies show that the autoxidation of 9 starts after a short initiation period. 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol exhibits powerful inhibitory effects. These results demonstrate the free radical nature of the autoxidation of 9. - The results are interpreted in terms of a mechanistic scheme involving initiation of the radical chain by addition of triplet oxygen to 9 to generate the diradical 28 followed by a radical chain 1:1 copolymerisation of 9 and oxygen to produce diradical 29. Eventually, endo addition of oxygen to 29 gives rise to the formation of the epoxyendoperoxides 20 and 21. Intramolecular hydrogen abstraction from the methylene group (C9) is accompanied by cleavage of a bridgehead bond (C1-C2) and the adjacent O-O bond to afford the extremely labile product A (perhaps 32 or 33) which undergoes acid-catalysed elimination to furnish ketone 22.

    Notes: Treatment of the unsaturated ketone 6 with phenylhydrazine fails to afford the unsaturated phenylhydrazone 3 but gives the tricyclic phenylhydrazoketone exo-8, which is oxidised with iron(III) chloride to yield the phenylazoketone exo-9. The configuration of exo-9 is elucidated with the help of an X-ray diffraction analysis. The unsaturated phenylazo compound 14 is obtained from Meerwein's diketone 10 in two ways. Iodination of the phenylhydrazone 11 in the presence of pyridine followed by elimination of pyridinium iodide from the bispyridinium salt 13 with aqueous sodium hydroxide in dimethyl sulphoxide furnishes 14 in low yield. A somewhat better yield is more conveniently achieved when the dibromodiketones exo,exo- and exo,endo-12 are allowed to react with phenylhydrazine in the presence of pyridine. Bromination of 14 with N-bromosuccinimide in cyclohexane as solvent affords the labile dibromide 15. Both reagents employed, viz. the zinc/copper couple in refluxing tetrahydrofuran and butyllithium at low temperature, fail to convert 15 into the hoped-for bis(phenylazo)barbaralane 1 but instead give rise to the formation of the isomer 17, either by cyclisation of the intermediate anion 16 or by rearrangement of 1.
