Carbenoid rearrangement in the series of substituted gem-dibromospiropentanes
摘要:
A series of new substituted gem-dibromospiropentanes was studied in a reaction with methyllithium at -55...-50 degrees C. This reaction is a carbenoid rearrangement that leads to the formation of monomeric and dimeric bromocyclobutenes and also to the products of cyclobutylidene insertion into a C-H bond of the solvent depending on the character of substituents in the dibromospiropentane fragment.
Carbenoid rearrangement of gem-dihalogenospiropentanes
摘要:
A skeletal rearrangement of dihalogenospiropentanes in the presence of alkyllithium reagents has been systematically studied using a number of gem-dibromospiropentanes. The scope and limitations of this carbenoid rearrangement are outlined and its mechanism is discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
