“…However, the intermediacy of 1 could not yet be established because only dimerization of 5 was observed. 8 It will be shown in this paper that 1 is not the only neutral molecule with a pyramidally coordinated carbon that might be experimentally accessible. Indeed, the chemistry of endo-3diazotricyclo[3.2.1.0 2,4 ]oct-6-ene (endo-6) has already been investigated by Kirmse 9 who considered the intermediacy of the pyramidally coordinated cation 4+ during the decomposition of endo-6 in methanol.…”

“…Recently, DFT calculations suggested that pentacyclo[4.3.0.0 2,9 .0 3,8 .0 7,9 ]non-4-ene ( 1 ), a [4.3.4.3]fenestrane, could be generated from the corresponding cyclopropylidene, tricyclo[3.2.2.0 2,4 ]nona-6,8-dien-3-ylidene ( 5 ). However, the intermediacy of 1 could not yet be established because only dimerization of 5 was observed …”
endo-3-Diazotricyclo[3.2.1.0(2,4)]oct-6-ene (endo-6) has already been prepared in solution. According to B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) computations, the corresponding carbene endo-7 easily produces the highly strained neutral C8H8 compound 4 comprising a pyramidally tetracoordinated carbon which then rearranges to bridgehead alkene 15 through a cascade of rearrangements. Nonplanar diazocyclopropane structures are predicted for endo- and exo-6. Furthermore, their ring-opened isomers 27 are the first representatives of a new class of non-Kekulé compounds, the diazoallyls.
“…An interesting new perspective for the synthesis of oligocyclopropane 193 was based on the work of Neuenschwander et al . − Dibromocyclopropane 161 , available by addition of a dibromocarbene to olefin 137b , was coupled under thermodynamic conditions to yield a mixture of four isomeric bicyclopropylidenes 162 (Scheme ). Unfortunately, separation of the diastereoisomers was not possible; however, it can be assumed that by starting from nonracemic 137b and 161 , respectively, the number of isomers could be reduced.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
