Direct observation of .alpha.-oxo ketenes from the photolysis of .alpha.-diazo .beta.-diketones
摘要:
Monitoring by IR spectroscopy of the broad-band irradiation of the symmetrically substituted 2-diazo-cyclohexane-1,3-dione (I 1), 3-diazopentane-2,4-dione (19), and 4-diazo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione (24) in Ar matrices at 12 K showed the formation of 2-carbonylcyclopentanone (s-Z-12), acetyl(methyl)ketene (s-E-20), and tert-butyl(pivaloyl)ketene (s-E-25), respectively, in less than 10 min. On increasing the photolysis time to >3 h, the alpha-oxo ketenes 12,20, and 25 decarbonylated to the corresponding oxocarbenes which underwent Wolff rearrangement to carbonylcyclobutane (15), dimethylketene (23), and di-tert-butylketene (28), respectively. The reaction of 2-carbonylcyclopentanone (12) with CH3OH was monitored by IR spectroscopy. Thus, it was found that the reaction started at ca. 100 K and was essentially complete at 140 K, involving the initial formation of the enol form (9) of methyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate.

We report a solvent-directed and regioselective carbon–carbon bondcleavage of aryl ketones by azido-1,3,5-triazines (ATs), which is typically completed within 10 min in DMSO at room temperature, without using transition metal catalysts. The cleavage is driven by the steric hindrance in the adducts of aryl ketones and ATs, which is substantiated by DFT calculation. Our recent results showed that ATs
