Electron demand in the transition state of the cyclopropylidene to allene ring opening
摘要:
The electronic structure of the transition state for the cyclopropylidene to allene conversion has been probed. The methodology involved the relative rates of ring opening vs trapping by MeOH for a series of variously substituted 2,3-diarylcyclopropylidenes. With the assumption that the rate of trapping was unaffected by substituents, a Hammett correlation was constructed. The negative value (-0.72) for rho indicated that the carbenic center attracts electron density in the ring-opening transition state, much like the cyclopropyl cation to allyl cation transition state. Temperature-dependent studies showed that the observed preference for ring opening was driven by entropy factors. Also, using reasonable estimates for the close to diffusion-controlled trapping activation enthalpies, the derived enthalpies for ring opening were in close agreement with the best theoretical values.

The chromium photocatalyzed cyclopropanation of diazo reagents with electron-rich alkenes is described. The transformation occurs under mild conditions and features specific distinctions from traditional diazo-based cyclopropanations (e.g., avoiding β-hydride elimination, chemoselectivity considerations, etc.). The reaction appears to work most effectively using chromium catalysis, and a number of

Mechanistic studies of the cyclopropanation of a series of trans-stilbenes by ethyl diazoacetate catalyzed by two different triarylaminium salts decisively confirm a cation radical mechanism and rule out a hypothetical electrophilic mechanism. The elucidation of key aspects of these cation radical mechanisms, including kinetic vs equilibrium control of ionization and chain vs catalytic mechanisms, has also been achieved for these systems. New mechanistic criteria for the positive identification of cation radical mechanisms are proposed.

oxidation of electron‐rich alkenes using the iron(III)‐phenanthroline complex produced electrophilic alkene radical cations, which promoted efficient radical cation [2+1] cycloaddition reactions with diazo compounds. Subsequent chain propagation afforded tri‐ and tetra‐substituted cyclopropanes. This methodology was also expanded to [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with vinyl diazoesters, validating this sustainable
