Thermal cleavage of the 3,4 bond in a cyclobutane-1,2-dione
摘要:
Pyrolysis of trans-3,4-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclobutane-1,2-dione results in an isomerization interpreted to involve formation of a dioxatetramethyleneethane biradical. This biradical would arise from a hitherto unprecedented 3,4 bond cleavage.

Tertiary carbanions were trapped with half an equivalent of diphosgene to give meso- and d,l-hexasubstituted ketones in moderate yields and modest diastereoselectivities. The ketones were also synthesized by a step-wise synthesis in which the carbonyl group was first installed as an acid before activation and the second nucleophilic attack. This second method gave lower yields but similar diastereoselectivites
Dependence of the Reactivities of Titanium Enolates on How They Are Generated: Diastereoselective Coupling of Phenylacetic Acid Esters Using Titanium Tetrachloride
phenylacetic acidesters was easily achieved by treating the esters with TiCl(4) and then adding Et(3)N to the resulting solution. The products consisted of dl- and meso-2,3-diphenylsuccinic acidesters with the Claisen condensation product, and the ratio of these products depended on the reaction conditions. Reaction conditions suitable for high dl selectivity were determined, and a dimer of titanium enolate
