The synthesis of 2,2-azo-2-methyl-6-heptene (1) is described. Photolytic decomposition of 1 in ether gave rise to the 1,1-dimethyl-5-hexenyl radical clock (2) which yielded 1,1,2-trimethylcyclopentane (3), 6-methyl-1-heptene (4), and 2-methyl-1,6-heptadiene (5) in the ratio of 1:0.72:0.56, respectively. The ratio did not change appreciably when a well-stirred mixture of 1 and 5 equiv of magnesium powder was photolyzed. Moreover, the solution gave a negative test (2,2'-biquinoline) for the presence of Grignard reagent. Thus, it has been experimentally demonstrated that the radicals formed in solution do not react with a magnesium surface to form Grignard reagents.
