REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES IN CYCLOPROPANE CHEMISTRY.
Abstract
Studies were made of the chemistry of 1,1-di methyl-2,3-dinitrocyclopropane, the first repre sentative dinitrocyclopropane to have been made. Unlike the mono-nitro compound, the ring hydro gens are liab acetate ion, - catalyzed hy dorgen - druterium exchange. With a stronger base, hydroxyl ion, the compound readily under goes a ringe cleavage similar to those known for nitrocyclopropyl ketones. Further studies were made on the photochemical tranformations of aryl ketones containing cyclopropyl substituents, as well as analogous compounds with larger rings. The preliminary findings disclose patterns of photolytic reactions not hitherto exemplified. One example if the formation of 2-methyl-4 benzoyl-1-butene upon UV irradiation of 1 benzoyl-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropane. (Author)
