N-(1,3,3-Trideuterio-2-methylidenecyclopropyl)-N-nitrosourea was synthesized and its decomposition on treatment with K2CO3 in the presence of acrylonitrile and ethyl acrylate or on treatment with MeONa in the absence of unsaturated substrates was studied. The rate of decomposition of the nitrosourea is much lower than that of the nondeuterated analog. The use of acrylates for trapping the intermediate 3,3-dideuterio-1-diazo-2-methylidenecyclopropane results in the corresponding 2'-methylidenespiro[4,5-dihydropyrazole-5,1'-cyclopropanes] containing two deuterium atoms in the cyclopropane fragment. The resulting dihydropyrazoles are isomerized almost entirely over a period of 1-3 days to give a mixture (similar to1 : 1) of isopropenylpyrazoles in which both deuterium atoms occur either in the methyl or in the methylidene groups of the isopropenyl substituent. A possible mechanism of this transformation is considered.
