Treatment of (2-oxoalkyl)triphenylbismuthonium tetrafluoroborates 3 with potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran at -78 deg C produced triphenylbismuthonium 2-oxoalkylides 4, which readily underwent epoxidation with the aldehydes 5 to give the α,β-epoxy ketones 7 with highly trans selectivity.The ylide 4a reacted with dimedone 11, the sulfonic acid 13, the thiol 15 and the isocyanate 17 to afford the corresponding ketones 12, 14, 16 and 19 in moderate to good yields.Reaction of the ylide 4c with the α,β-unsaturated ketones 10 and 21 afforded the 1,2-dibenzoyl- and the 1,2,3-tribenzoyl- cyclopropanes 20 and 22, respectively, although the yields were low.In the presence of a catalytic amount of nitrosobenzene 23, the ylide 4a a unique decomposition to give the 2,2,7,7-tetramethyloct-4-ene-3,6-dione 24 in quantitative yield, while the reaction with the nitrile oxide 25 yielded the isoxazoline 26.In all of these reactions, triphenylbusmuthane 6 was the additional major product.

Oxidation of di-tert-butylthioketene (1) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-(thiocarbonyl)cyclohexane (2) by singlet oxygen has been investigated and has been found to exhibit a unique behavior different from that of ketenes and ketenimines.Oxidation of 1 in methylene chloride yielded the corresponding thioketene S-oxide (3), thioketone S-oxide (4), and trans-2,2,7,7-tetramethyl-4-octene-3,6-dione (5), and that in methanol gave 3, 4, methyl 1-tert-butyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxobutanesulfinate (6), and 1-methoxy-3,3-dimethylbutanone (7).Similar oxidation of 2 in methylene chloride gave 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-(thiocarbonyl)cyclohexane S-oxide (8), 2,2,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexanethione S-oxide (9), and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexanone (10), and in methanol methyl 3,3,7,7-tetramethyl-2-oxocycloheptanesulfinate (11) and 10 were formed.Formation of the above products has been rationalized to arise through the involvement of zwitterionic intermediates (12) resulting from the attack of singlet oxygen on the sulfur lone pair of the thioketene functionality.The difference in behavior between 1 and 2 is suggested to be due to the difference in the nature of cleavage of the suspected intermediate α-peroxythiolactone.Reasons for the variation in the product distribution with respect to temperature and solvent are yet to be understood.

Di-t-butylthioketen (1) readily reacts with singlet oxygen to yield unexpected products (based on the behaviour of other heterocumulenes) and reacts with ozone to give, quantitatively, the corresponding sulphoxide (2).
