The photochemical reactivities of 1,1-diarylspiropentanes 1a-c have been investigated under various photolysis conditions. Upon direct photolysis or acetone-sensitized photolysis, 1 underwent skeletal rearrangement to afford methylidenecyclobutanes 2, 3 and 4. A mechanism involving diradical intermediates has been proposed. Also studied were the photochemical and thermal reactions of the electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes of 1 with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). Photoirradiation of the charge-transfer (CT) absorption bands of the EDA complexes resulted in the skeletal rearrangement of 1 to 2 and 3, with concomitant formation of TCNE adducts 11b,c and 12a-c. The X-ray structure of 11c is reported. A mechanism involving ion radical pairs [1?+, TCNE?-] is proposed for the photoreaction. In contrast, no skeletal rearrangement was observed in the thermal reaction of the EDA complexes although i1b and 11c were produced.

Photoreactions of 1,1-diphenylspiropentanes have been investigated under various photochemical conditions. The exploratory studies have provided unprecedented examples of photochemically induced skeletal rearrangement of spiropentanes to methylenecyclobutanes.

Photogenerated 1,1-diarylspiropentane cation radicals competitively rearranged to the more thermodynamically stable 1-(diarylmethylene)cyclobutanes and the less stable 2,2-diaryl-1-methylenecyclobutanes in a concerted and stepwise manner, respectively.
