Reactions of triene-conjugated diazo-compounds: Reaction paths from o-(1,3-dienyl)aryldiazomethanes to 3,8-methano-1,2-diazocines and to pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines via intramolecular (3 + 2) and 1,1-cycloaddition reactions

The reaction paths followed by the triene-conjugated diazo-compounds 7, which have α,β aromatic and γ,δ; ε,ζ olefinic unsaturation, depend strongly on the nature of the substituents R1 and R2. Those with R1,R2 = (CH2)3, 7a-e, react at room temperature via an intramolecular (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction of unprecedented regioselectivity to give the bridged benzodiazocines 18a-e in high yield. Those with R1 = Me and R2 = Ph, 7f and 7g, react at 80 °C to give the hydrocarbons 19f, g and, via new chemistry, the pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines 24f, g. The structures of compounds 18a, 19a and 24f have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
