Laser-Powered Decomposition of Spiroalkanes (n = 2-5)
Fajgar, Radek,Pola, Josef
, p. 7709 - 7717 (2007/10/02)
The laser heating of spiroalkanes (n=2-5) and of their 1,1,2,2-tetradeuterated isotopomers reveals dissimilar modes of their thermal decomposition.Spiropentane decomposes into ethene and propadiene via two competing routes: the direct cleavage and the more important cleavage via intermediary methylenecyclobutane.Spirohexane decomposes through two important concurrent pathways which are the expulsions of ethene from the three-membered ring and a more feasible expulsion of ethene from the four-membered ring.Spiroheptane and spirooctane decompose by a radical-chain mechanism and afford complex mixtures of products; upon addition of propene both compounds rearrange into two cycloalkanes wherein the larger ring of the spiroalkane is preserved and substituted with ethylidene and a vinyl group.
Studies on the chemistry of diols and cyclic ethers-53. Dehydration of 1,1-bishydroxymethylcycloalkanes: A quest for a 1,3-hydride shift

A study of the sulphuric acid-catalysed dehydrations of 1,1-bishydroxymethyl-cyclopropane, - cyclobutane, - cyclopentane and -cyclohexane (1a-1d) revealed that the product distributions are determined by the relative stabilities of carbenium ions and der kinetic control furnished evidence of a 1,3-hydride shift.
