Diazocyclopropanes (6, 38, 57) were generated in equilibrium with cyclopropanediazonium ions by base-induced cleavage of the analogous nitrosoureas in methanol.Efficient trapping of the diazocyclopropanes occurred in dilute solution with a slight excess of carbonyl compounds.The reactivity of the resulting 1-(α-hydroxyalkyl)cyclopropanediazonium ions (10) depended strongly on the α-substituents.Pinacol rearrangements predominated with aldehyde adducts, the migratory aptitudes being H > Ph > CH3.These 1,2-shifts are thought to proceed with inversion at the terminus - the preferred exo-attack of acetaldehyde at 7-diazonorcarane (38) led to the endo-ketone 40.The major product derived from the acetone adduct 22 was the epoxide 26 whose reaction(s) with metanol were also examined.The intramolecular addition of 8-diazobicyclooctan-4-one (57) gave rise to 6-methoxybicyclooct-4-en-1-ol (60).Due to steric constraints, the intermediate 58 underwent exclusive cyclopropyl-allyl transformations (otherwise a minor reaction).

In sharp contrast to the well-known selenoxide elimination leading to olefins, the treatment of alkyl phenyl selenides (PhSeR) with an excess of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA; 2-5 equiv. to a selenide) in alcohol at room temperature affords the corresponding dialkyl ethers by the substitution of a phenylselenium (PhSe) moiety with an alkoxy group.A similar reaction proceeds by using alkyl phenyl tellurides (PhTeR) and telluroxides , a facile substitution of PhTe or PhTe(O) moiety by an alkoxy group being observed.Methanol is the most appropriate solvent for these oxidations and alkyl methyl ethers are formed in excellent yields.The reaction is accompanied by phenyl migration when applied to some selenides, tellurides, and telluroxides having a phenyl group at a vicinal position to the PhSe, PhTe, or PhTe(O) moiety.Application to the methoxyselenation and methoxytelluration products of cyclohexene and cycloheptene results in a ring-contraction to afford the dimethyl acetals of cyclopentane- and cyclohexane-carbaldehyde, respectively.In case of an allylic phenyl selenide, a sigmatropic rearrangement giving a rearranged allylic alcohol occurs in much preference to the substitution by the methoxy group.Other oxidizing agents than MCPBA such as NaIO4, H2O2, t-BuOOH, and ozone are generally ineffective under similar conditions.It is proposed that the reaction mainly takes place as follows.Alkyl phenyl selenone, alkyl phenyl tellurone, or the MCPBA addition product to them is formed as a reactive intermediate in which an alkyl C-Se or alkyl C-Te bond fission occurs heterolytically by a nucleophilic attack of alcohol, sometimes accompanied by a 1,2-shift of the β-substituent, i.e., phenyl migration and ring-contraction.
Photochemistry of Alkyl Halides. 10. Vinyl Halides and Vinylidene Dihalides

The photobehavior of the acyclic vinyl iodide 2, the 1-iodocycloalkenes 11-14 and 39, the (halomethylene)cycloalkanes 45-48, and the (dihalomethylene)cyclohexanes 62-64 has been studied.Except for the dichloride 64, which exhibited only radical behavior, each of the halides afforded a mixture of ionic and radical products.The two bromides studied, 48 and 63, afforded lower ratios of ionic to radical products than the corresponding iodides 45 and 62.Irradiation of vinyl iodides was found to be a convenient and powerful method for the generation of vinyl cations, including the highly strained 1-cyclohexenyl and 1-cyclopentenyl cations and the unstabilized α-unsubstituted cations 51 and 54.The latter cations underwent rearrangement to the ring-expanded 1-cycloalkenyl cations 28 and 36, respectively.Lowering the temperature of the irradiation of iodides 13, 14, and 45 resulted in an increased ratio of ionic to radical products.However, iodide 47, which underwent principally fragmentation to enyne 61, showed little temperature effect.
