Photosensitized Electron Transfer from Azoalkanes: Generation, Fragmentation, and Rearrangement of Radical Cations Structurally Related to Dicyclopentadiene
Adam, Waldemar,Sendelbach, Juergen
, p. 5310 - 5315 (2007/10/02)
The azoalkanes 1a-c extrude nitrogen upon photosensitized electron transfer (PET) to yield 1,3-radical cation intermediates 2(.+), which undergo interesting transformations.Electron back transfer (BET) affords the unrearranged housanes 2, but significant
Rhodium catalysed decarbonylation of optically active campholenal analogues
Chapuis,Winter,Schulte-Elte
, p. 6135 - 6138 (2007/10/02)
Campholenal analogues (+)-1a-d were decarbonylated with a catalytic amount of Rh/Al2O3 with only slight racemization. Experiment with other catalysts showed that racemization increases with the ability of the metal to form a π-allyl
