Three independent methods have been employed to estimate the rate constant, k1, for ring-opening of the 2-cyclopropyl-2-propyl radical, 1, at room temperature. These three estimates are based on chemical trapping of 1 and the ring-opened 4-methylpent-3-ene-1-yl radical by thiophenol (k1 = (1.65 ± 0.41) × 107 M-1 s-1), 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-N-oxyl (k1 = (1.76 ± 0.34) × 107 M-1 s-1) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (k1 = (2.1 ± 0.4) × 107 M-1 s-1) and absolute rate constants for nonrearranging radicals structurally related to 1. The mean value for k1) ((1.84 ± 0.4) × 107 M-1 s-1) should be used when 1 is employed as a tertiary alkyl free radical clock at ambient temperatures.

1-Methyl- (17), 1,2-dimethyl- (41, 44), 1-propyl- (64), 1-(1-methylethyl)cyclopropanediazonium ions (80), and -1-diazonium ions (93) have been generated by alkaline cleavage of the analogous nitrosocarbamates in methanol.Cyclopropyl-allyl transformation and nucleophilic displacement were the only reactions of 17, 41, 44, and 93 while elimination and 1,2-shifts of an α-hydrogen compete increasingly with 64 and 80.The stereochemistry of ring cleavage and nucleophilic displacement has been explored, using 2-D labels in the case of 17 and 93.Cyclopropanediazonium ions (1) and 41 react stereospecifically, 17 and 44 are moderately stereoselective (ca. 85:15), and 93 is entirely unselective.The data indicate a gradual changeover from concerted to stepwise mechanisms.Appreciable stabilization of the positive charge is required to reach the SN1 extreme.
