    Notes: Deprotonation of the annulated tetrazolium salts 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 with sodium or potassium hydride yields the alkylidenedihydrotetrazoles 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, respectively. While 5a and b are unstable, even in solution at low temperatures, 7, 9, 11, and 13 form yellow oils that are distilled under high vacuum. - Irradiation of solutions of 7, 9, and 11 in [D8]toluene at -60°C yields, besides molecular nitrogen, annulated iminoaziridines that have an exocyclic CN double bond, i.e. 14, 16, and 18, respectively. In addition, an equal amount of the isomer 19 with the endocyclic CN double bond is formed from 11. On thermolysis, 14, 16, and 18 undergo [2 + 1] cycloreversion into methyl isocyanide and the cyclic imines 15, 17, and 20, respectively. By contrast, 19 rearranges thermally to yield 18. While the doubly bridged alkylidenedihydrotetrazole 13a affords only unidentified decomposition products on photolysis, its methyl homologue 13b is converted into the hexahydronaphthyridine 22 which is also formed on thermolysis. - Irradiation of 13b in a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran or butyronitrile matrix at 77 K yields a triplet diradical showing a four-line EPR spectrum centred at 3362 G and a half-field transition (at 1669 G) with a hyperfine structure. The zero-field splitting parameters |D-hc| = 0.031 cm-1 and |E-hc| = 0.0014 cm-1 are obtained by simulation of the EPR spectrum. The signal-carrier is assigned the diazatrimethylenemethane structure 23 on the basis of the close similarity between its EPR spectrum and those of trimethylenemethane (28) and tris(N-methylimino)methane (29). - Structural features are discussed that are responsible for the observed differences between the photochemical pathways.

    Notes: ---2-Alkyl-1-methylquinolinium hexafluorophosphates 1 are deprotonated by sodium or potassium hydride to afford solutions of 2-alkylidenedihydroquinolines 2, which are investigated by NMR spectroscopy. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of phenyl azide to 2 yields the spirocyclic products 10. While, at 80-110 °C, the [3 + 2] cycloaddition that afforded (u)-10f is reversible and accompanied by epimerisation to give (l)-10f, thermolysis of the dimethyl compounds 10b and d affords the ring-expanded products 14b and d, respectively, in good yields along with molecular nitrogen. Irradiation of 10d with light of λ 〉 320 nm results in the formation of similar amounts of 14d and [3 + 2] cycloreversion products, viz. 2-diazopropane (5b) and the N-phenylimine 15d. - Trapping of 2 by methanesulphonyl azide (18a) gives mixtures of the products of ring expansion (21b, d-f, 10-50 %) and [3 + 2] cycloreversion (22a, d, 10-80 %) of the apparently very labile intermediate spirocyclic cycloadducts 19. The ratio of 21 vs. 22 is significantly improved when 18a is replaced by trifluoromethanesulphonyl azide (18b), which affords the iminodihydrobenzazepines 21i-k in 50-75 % yield. The structures of the products are based on NMR evidence and X-ray diffraction analyses performed with 21b, d, and (ax,E)-21e.

    Notes: The deuterium-labelled 2,4,6,8-substituted barbaralanes [D5]-1a and b, and the two model barbaralanes 15 und 19 for the estimation of 13C chemical shifts in the slow-exchange limit are synthesised from bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-3,7-diene-2,6-dione (5). - The extension of Saunders′ isotopic perturbation method bridges the gap between the limiting cases “perturbation of shift equivalence in delocalised systems” and “perturbation of degeneracy” by considering the simultaneous presence of delocalised species of higher symmetry and skewed equilibria between localised molecules that are degenerate in the absence of the isotopic perturbation. An equation (Equation 7) is derived for such multi-component systems which describes the temperature dependence of the relative isotopic splittings in 13C spectra with three parameters, viz. the isotopic perturbation parameters ΔHP and ΔSP of the skewed equilibria and the enthalpy difference ΔH0 between the delocalised and localised species. - Relative isotopic splittings ΔδP/Δδ are calculated from estimated chemical shifts in the slow-exchange limit (Δδ) and isotopic splittings (ΔδP) of signals in variable-temperature 151-MHz 13C NMR spectra recorded for solutions of [D5]-1a and b in [D8]toluene and N,N′-dimethylpropylene urea. The results obtained from [D5]-1a in both solvents and from [D5]-1b in the former are compatible with either a skewed equilibrium between localised valence tautomers alone or the simultaneous presence of localised and small amounts of delocalised valence tautomers. In striking contrast, the small isotopic splittings themselves and their small temperature dependence, observed for solutions of [D5]-1b in N,N′-dimethylpropylene urea, demonstrate that one half of the solvated compound exists in the delocalised state [D5]-1b*, which is more stable by 2 kJ mol-1 than the equilibrating localised species [D5]-1b ⇌ [D5]-1b′.

    Notes: Diphenylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione rac-3 is resolved in 57 % overall yield by chromatographic separation of the diastereomeric (R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)carbamates 9 which are obtained from (R)-(1-phenylethyl) isocyanate (8) and the 6-hydroxydiphenylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-ones endo- and exo-4. The enantiomers (1R)- (e.r. = 98:2) and (1S)-3 (e.r. = 97:3) are regenerated from 9 by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride followed by Swern oxidation of the resulting diols 5. The title compound (1S)-1 is synthesised in three steps from (1S)-3 in improved yield on the route that had led to rac-1. The absolute configurations are established by X-ray diffraction analyses of the carbamates endo-(1R)-9 and exo-(1S)-9. X-ray diffraction analyses were also performed of the camphanoate (1R)-7, the intermediates rac-endo-4 and (1S)-3, and the title compound (1S)-1. Hydroxy ketone rac-endo-4 adopts similar conformations in the solid state and in solution as shown by a comparison of vicinal 1H,1H coupling constants from proton spectra with those calculated from torsional angles in the crystal. The molecular structures of (1S)-1 and (1S)-3 closely resemble those of the corresponding racemates investigated previously. These results show (i) that intermolecular interactions in the solid state are of minor importance and (ii) that the unusually long C2-C8 distance of (1S)-1 and rac-1 (168 pm) is a molecular but not an averaged property due to a non-degenerate Cope rearrangement in the crystal. CD spectra are reported for (1R)- and (1S)-3, the unsaturated dicarbonitrile (1S)-13, and (1S)-1. The CD spectrum of (1S)-1 exhibits a weak positive band at 459 nm where rac-1 shows a temperature-dependent absorption which has been assigned to the higher, vibronic state represented by rac-1*. The intensity of the weak CD band depends on the temperature and the solvents in the same way as the UV/Vis absorption of rac-1. This supports the conclusion that both bands originate from the same source, viz. the transition state 1* of the degenerate Cope rearrangement 1 ⇄ 1′.

    Notes: Synthesis and Photolysis of 1,4,4-Trialkyl-4,5-dihydro-5-imino-1H-1,2,3-triazoles.  -  Regio- and Diastereoselective Formation of (Z)-AziridiniminesThe novel 5-iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles 14 are synthesized from the 5-isopropylidenedihydrotetrazole 11 through a ring transformation involving cycloaddition and cycloreversion of alkyl azides 12. Thus, [3 + 21 cycloaddition of 11 and 12 pro- duces high yields of the spiro compounds 13. On thermolysis at 120- 130°C, the latter undergo clean [3 + 2] cycloreversion into methyl a i d e (12a) and the iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles 14, which exist as mixtures of diastereomers, e.g. (E)-/(Z)-14a = 955, or as a single stereoisomer (E)-14c. When toluene solutions of 14 are irradiated (≥ 1 280 mm) at - 60°C, the configuration of the products is under kinetic control. Irradiation of 14a affords a quantitative yield of the aziridinimines (E)-and (Z)-15a (11:89) besides molecular nitrogen. In order to allow the distinction between the least-motion and the non-least-motion path of product formation, the photolysis of iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles is studied which are labelled at N-1 by a deuterated methyl group (14b) or a neopentyl group (14c). Neither photolysis (λ ≥280 nm) nor heating to 120 to 130°C induces any scrambling of the alkyl groups attached to N-1 and the exocyclic nitrogen atom of 14b and c. The major product from (E)-/(Z)-14b (84%) is formed by the non-least-motion path leading diastereoselectively to (Z)-15 b, while the least-motion products (E)- and (Z)-17b (16%) exhibit a diastereo-meric ratio of 3: 1. Very similar results are obtained on photolysis of (E)-14c, except that the least-motion product (15%) arises only in a single configuration [(E)-l7c]. In the non-least-motion products (Z)-15b, c, the geometry of the Me—N=-C—N???—R group, fixed by the ring in 14b, c, is completely retained. Therefore, the (Z) diastereoselectivity is interpreted in terms of a one-bond cleavage leading to diazenyl-1,3-diazaallyl diradicals 22 having lifetimes too short for changes of their configuration which is determined by the structure of the precursor.

    Notes: 2,4,6,8-Tetraphenylbarbaralane - an Orange-Red, Thermochromic Hydrocarbon Devoid of a Chromophore[1,2]The diphenylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonanedione 6 adds phenylcerium-(III) dichloride to afford a high yield of the triphenyl-2-oxa-twistanol 8. In contrast, phenyllithium yields a mixture of tri-phenylhydroxyketone exo-7, tetraphenylbicyclo[3.3.1]nona-nediol 9, and 8. The latter is dehydrated by sulfuric acid in acetic acid to produce the triphenylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonenone 10 in almost quantitative yield. Addition of phenylcerium(III) dichloride to 10 affords a 3:2 mixture of the tetraphenylbicy-clo[3.3.1]nonenols exo- and endo-11 which may be separated by chromatography. Dehydration of the mixture yields quantitatively the tetraphenyldiene 12. On treatment with an excess of butylpotassium in pentane, 12 is converted to the deep violet, crystalline dipotassium salt 17 which may be purified by reprecipitation from its tetrahydrofuran solution with pentane. When the solution of 17 in tetrahydrofuran is slowly added to an excess of 1,2-dibromoethane at -60°C, the dianion is immediately oxidized to produce the tetraphenylbarbara-lane 4 which is isolated in 30% yield as orange-red crystals after chromatography. - The structures of the new compounds are based on spectroscopic evidence and X-ray diffraction analyses of 4, 8, exo-11, and 12. The conformations in solution are inferred on the basis of vicinal proton coupling constants and a comparison with coupling constants calculated with the aid of the Karplus equation from torsional angles obtained by X-ray diffraction analyses. The conformation of exo-11 in solution closely resembles that present in the crystal. - While the barbaralane 4 exists as a pair of very rapidly rearranging degenerate valence tautomers in solution, the degeneracy is lifted in the crystal lattice. As a result, the crystal consists of two rapidly rearranging but non-equivalent valence tautomers in a ratio of 9:1 as estimated from the apparent atomic distance C2-C8 of 4 and the C2-C8 bond length of the model barbaralane 18. - The orange-red colour of 4 in the crystal and in solution results from a pronounced shoulder in the UV/Vis spectrum at 430 nm, the intensity of which strongly depends on the temperature. Thus, 4 is the first barbaralane which exhibits colour though it is lacking a classical long-wavelength chromophore.

    Notes: Addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to the diphenylbicyclo[3.3.0]octanedione 8c is catalyzed by the potassium cyanide/18-crown-6 complex and produces a mixture of the diastereomeric bis[O-(trimethylsilyl)cyanohydrins] endo- and exo-10c (3:2). The hydrogen fluoride - pyridine complex in phosphorus oxychloride as solvent and, subsequently, an excess of pyridine convert the mixture of diastereomers 10c into the unsaturated y,y′-diphenyldinitrile 11. This is converted into the red semibullvalene 4 in a single step by treatment with hexachloroethane and concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as phase-transfer catalyst  -  Above 30°C, 4 isomerizes in solution to a mixture of the cyclooctatetraenes 12 and 13. While the red crystals of 4 are stable in the atmosphere, in the dark affording the endoperoxide 16 and the yellow 2H-pyran derivative 17 (7:1) which result from parallel reactions. Only at temperatures as high s 110°C, 16 slowly rearranges to 17 which reacts further to yield well-defined but still unknown products. The simultaneous formation of 16 and 17 at low temperatures is interpreted in terms of endo and exo attack, respectively, of triplet oxygen at the benzylic carbon atoms of the semibullvalene 4 or the isomeric bicyclic diradical 21.  -  The structures of the new compounds are based on spectroscopic evidence and X-ray diffraction analyses of 4, endo-10c, 11, 16, and 17. The semibullvalene 4 exists as a pair of rapidly rearranging degenerate valence tautomers in solution and in the crystal as well. In the solid state, 4 exhibits apparent C2 symmetry and equal atomic distances C2-C8 and C4-C6 (201.9 pm). Because true degeneracy is highly unlikely in the crystal, the equal distribution of two non-equivalent valence tautomers at room termperature results from a fortuitous cancelling of the ΔH° and TΔS° terms governing the equilibrium.  -  The red colour of 4 in the crystal and in solution is due to a maximum at 444 nm which disappears on cooling. Thus, 4 not only belongs to the family of thermochromic semibullvalenes and barbaralanes devoid of a long wavelength chromophor like 1, 6 and 14, but also shows the most intensive maximum at the longest wavelength observed so far.

    Notes: The 1-pyrazolin-4-ones 7 and 9 and the pyrazolidin-4-one 13 are condensed with alkanamines 8 to produce the imines 3,10 and 12 in high yields. Direct irradiation of 3 with 350-nm light at 90°C in deuterated hydrocarbon solvents affords the cyclo-propanimines 4 in almost quantitative yields besides molecular nitrogen and small amounts of the imines 12 as a result of photoreduction. In [D6]acetone, the cyclopropanimine 4b isomerizes in part of the α,β-unsaturated imine 14. Direct irradiation of 3 with the unfiltered light of the high-pressure mercury lamp results in quantitative [2 + 1] cycloreversion of the primary photoproducts 4 into the alkene 6 and an isocyanide 5. At low temperature (10°C), photolysis of 3 occurs much more slowly giving rise to photoextrusion of nitrogen (→4) and photoreduction (→12) to about the same extent. - Photolysis of the stereochemically labelled iminopyrazolines cis- and trans-10 (d.e. 99%) at 90°C produces the cyclopropanimines cis- and trans-16 (d.e. 94%) with high stereospecificity. The configuration of cis- and trans-16 is established by a comparison with the corresponding methylenecyclopropanes cis- and trans-19 and the quantitative and completely stereospecific [2 + 1] cycloreversion into methyl isocyanide (5a) and the 3,4- dimethyl-3-hexenes (Z)- and (E)-17 on irradiation with the unfiltered light of the mercury arc. The necessity of thermal activation for efficient nitrogen extrusion from the 1(n,π*) state of 3 and 10 is indicative of a considerable energy barrier towards the transition into a dissociative state. At low temperature, hydrogen abstraction from the solvent or other molecules becomes important for the deactivation of the 1(n,π*) state, in addition to decay and fluorescence. The stereospecific formation of cis- and trans-16 is interpreted in terms of diastereomeric bis-orthogonal azatrimethylenemethane diradicals as intermediates which retain the configuration on cyclization. The minor non-stereospecific path may involve mono-orthogonal azatrimethylenemethane diradicals. Thus, mechanisms that involve the same types of diradical intermediates can rationalize the photolysis of the iminopyrazolines 3, 10 and of the methylenetriazoline 1 as well. The [2 + 1] cycloreversion of cis- and trans-16 into the alkenes (Z)- and (E)-17 and methyl isocyanide (5a) demonstrates for the first time that such photoreactions can be entirely stereospecific.

    Notes: The tetraalkyl-1-pyrazolin-4-ones 5 react with hydrazine to afford the hydrazones 6 which are transformed into the thiones 7 in high yields by treatment with disulphur dichloride in the presence of triethylamine. Selective excitation of the azo chromophor of 7a with 350-nm light gives rise to the isopropylidenethiirane 8, besides molecular nitrogen, in a very clean reaction; at almost quantitative conversions, less than 2% of byproducts are observed, and about 10% of 8 have isomerized to the pentadienethiol 9. Photolysis of the stereoisomers cis- and trans-7b yields mixtures of the alkylidenethiiranes (E)-and (Z)-10 with (E)/(Z) ratios of 35:65 and 49:51. The results are interpreted in terms of diastereomeric bis-orthogonal (cis- and trans-21) and mono-orthogonal thioxyallyl diradicals (E)- and (Z)-23 which cyclize to furnish (E)- and (Z)-10. There seems to be a qualitative resemblance between the photochemical and thermal stabilities in the series of 4-substituted tetramethyl-1-pyrazolines, viz. 7a 〈 12 〈 5a, 13, similar to that suggested by Engel for 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene derivatives.

    Notes: The photolysis of the 4-methylene-1-pyrazoline 1 is reinvestigated under a variety of experimental conditions. Direct irradiation (350-nm light) affords the alkylidenecyclopropanes 4 and 5 as predominant products, besides molecular nitrogen, and in a constant ratio of (55 ± 1): (45 ∓ 1), which is not altered in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or piperylene nor in [D6]acetone solution. When oxygen is excluded, an additional compound is formed whose proportion depends on the capability of the solvent to act as hydrogen donor. In the presence of three equivalents of DABCO, it eventually becomes the major product. The 4-methylenepyrazolidine structure 13 of the novel photoproduct is established by NMR spectroscopy, a comparison with an authentic sample, obtained in quantitative yield by zinc reduction of 1, and reoxidation to 1 as well. An extensive investigation to detect any traces of the 4-isopropylidene-2-pyrazoline 6 in the irradiated solutions has failed. This result is at variance with recent disclosures reporting evidence for a turnaround photoisomerization of 1 via diazenylallyl diradicals. The contribution of photoreduction to the decay of the first excited singlet state of reluctant azo compounds is emphasized.
