Investigations into the Mechanism of Inter- And Intramolecular Iron-Catalyzed [2 + 2] Cycloaddition of Alkenes

Mechanistic studies are reported on the inter- and intramolecular [2 + 2] alkene cycloadditions to form cyclobutanes promoted by (tricPDI)Fe(N2) (tricPDI = 2,6-(2,4,6-tricyclopentyl)C6H2N = CMe)2

EFFECT OF THE STRUCTURE OF BICYCLIC CARBENES ON THE DIRECTION OF THEIR STABILIZATION

By pyrolysis of the sodium salts of bicyclooctan-2-one and bicyclononan-2-one tosylhydrazones the corresponding carbenes were generated.The first of them undergoes fragmentation with the formation of 1-octen-7-yne and rearrangement to bicyclooct-6-ene, and the second rearranges to bicyclodec-8-ene and forms the products from transannular insertion, i.e., tricyclo2,4>decane and tricyclo2,4>decane.The difference in the direction of stabilization in these carbenes is due to the geometry of the arrangement of the three-membered ring in relation to the vacant p orbital.
