Photochemistry of Alkenes. 9. Medium-sized cycloalkenes

The behavior of three medium-sized cycloalkenes cyclooctene (10), cyclodecene (17) and cyclododecene (21) on direct irradiation in pentane and methanol solution has been studied.The results are summarized in Tables 1-3.Irradiation of medium-sized cycloalkenes is a convenient procedure for the preparation of bicyclic products (cf. 13, 14, 19, 20 and 23) through transannular insertion reactions of carbene intermediates (cf. 11, 18, and 22) thought to arise from rearrangement of the 1 state via a 1,2-hydrogen shift.The formation of trans-decalin (20) is in contrast to the reported formation of the cis isomer on base-initiated decomposition of the corresponding tosylhydrazone.None of the three cycloalkenes 10, 17, or 21 underwent competing nucleophilic trapping of the 1 state in methanol, in contrast with other alkenes previously studied.However, cyclododecene (21) afforded the methyl ether 25, which apparently resulted from protonation of the 1(?,?*) state, and the epoxide 26, which is thought to arise from electron transfer to oxygen by the 1 state followed by protonation of the resulting superoxide ion and oxidation of unreacted cyclododecene (21).

TERMINATION REACTIONS OF C5-C12 CYCLOALKYL RADICALS AND CARBENES

Reactions of C5-C12 cycloalkyl radicals and carbenes produced during radiolysis, vacuum-u.v. photolysis, and decomposition of cycloalkanone p-tosylhydrazones were investigated.The disproportionation to combination ratios of radicals are ca. 1 and agree with the ratios of linear secondary radicals.The disproportionation smaller cycloalkyl radicals yields cis-cycloalkenes and cycloalkanes; from C9 and C10 cis- and trans-cycloalkenes and cycloalkanes and from C11 and C12 trans-cycloalkenes and cycloalkanes are produced.Both atoms of H2 given off in the elimination reaction from excited cycloalkane molecules orginate from the same carbon atom and in this process carbenes are formed.Rearrangement of small (C5, C6) and large (C11, C12) cycloalkylcarbenes in the solvent of the given cycloalkane occurs by 1,2-hydrogen migration.C7-C10 carbenes rearrange both by hydrogen atom migration and transannular insertion.
