The selective transition-metal-mediated activation of C(sp2)–H bonds of allenes is a formidable challenge because of the competitive, intrinsic reactivity of cumulated double bonds. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed C–H alkenylation of electronically unbiased allenes, affording penta-1,2,4-triene products in up to 94% yield. A picolinamide directing group enables the formation of putative allenyl-palladacycles

Laser flash photolysis of alkylphenyldiazomethanes in the presence of pyridine produces easily detected ylides. The data indicate that photolysis of alkylphenyldiazomethanes leads to both carbene formation and direct formation of rearrangement products which do not derive from relaxed carbene intermediates

The thermolytic coupling of Ph2CN2 and (t-Bu)(Ph)CN2 with doubly cyclomanganated 2,5-diphenylpyrazine and 4,6-diphenylpyrimidine afforded substantial amounts of new triple decker compounds of either Ci and C2 symmetry respectively containing, in both series, two η3-bonded Mn(CO)3 fragments which intervene as scaffolds sustaining the helical non-conjugated triaryl backbone. The molecular structures of two pyrazine derivatives show a typical non-parallel stacking of the aromatic rings and the encapsulation of the central pyrazyl fragment with interplanar centroid-to-centroid distances of ca. 3.5 Å. The stacking of the aromatics in the triple-decker pyrimidine derivatives has been assessed by 1H NMR experiments at low temperature. All the triple-decker-type compounds are electroactive. Pyrimidine triple-deckers can reversibly be electrochemically reduced to the corresponding anions.

To expand on the limited number of examples that exist in the literature for the solid-state photodenitrogenation of azoalkanes, a series of crystalline 7-alkyl-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones with varying 4,4-substituents were prepared. Their photochemical behavior in solution and in the solid state was dependent on the 4,4-substitution of the 1-pyrazoline ring, with unsubstituted pyrazoline 12 giving a mixture of products both in solution and in the solid state. Diphenyl substituted pyrazolines 13 denitrogenate spontaneously in solution but require light exposure to react quantitatively in the solid state. t-Butyl-phenyl substituted pyrazolines 14 were shown to denitrogenate both chemo- and diastereoselectively in solution and in the solid state to yield a single product in quantitative yield.
Formation and reactivity of .sigma.-radical cation intermediates in the carbon-carbon coupling reaction of phenyldiazomethanes by one-electron oxidation
One-electron oxidation of phenyldiazomethanes afforded cis-stilbene predominantly. The reaction was independent of the oxidation methods, e.g., electrolysis, copper(II), triarylaminium salts, or photosensitized one-electron oxidations. The C-C coupling reaction was retarded by introducing alpha-substituents on phenyldiazomethane. The ESR spectra of diazoalkane radical cations could be obtained during the electrolysis at low temperature and the resulting spectra revealed their unique electronic structure as sigma-radicals for most cases. When a bulky tert-butyl group was substituted, the corresponding pi-radical cation was observed, but the C-C coupling reaction did not occur. The novel HOMO-LUMO switching by one-electron removal from the HOMO pi-orbital of diazomethane is explained by the interaction of phenyl group with the C-N-N sigma-radical moiety. The C-C coupling reaction proceeds via facile [4 + 2] cycloaddition between the diazomethane and sigma-radical cation, and the preferential formation of cis-olefins is based on the secondary orbital interaction between the two phenyl groups. The structure and the stability of radical cation intermediates are rationalized on the basis of ab initio calculations.
