The electrophilic alkylthiolation of alkenes, initiated by dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium salts and the subsequent addition of various heteronucleophilies has been well-established. Regarding the use of carbon nucleophiles, however, only carefully designed sp-type carbon sources have been successfully applied. We herein present our findings on the methylthiolation of alkenes with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by carbon-carbon bond formation in the presence of organozinc reagents, thus achieving a catalyst-free protocol toward to the carbosulfenylation of alkenes.

o-Bromostyrenes 2-Br react with various alkenes in the presence of palladium catalysts to give either substituted indene 6 or o-diethenylbenzene derivatives 3, depending on the reaction conditions.Under oxidative conditions the latter can be cyclized to indene derivatives as well. - Keywords: Cross-coupling, Heck; Palladium catalysis; Indanes; Arenes, dialkenyl-N
Thermochemistry of Phenyl-Substituted Benzobicyclohex-2-enes

The thermal rearrangements of benzobicyclohex-2-ene (21) and its phenyl-substituted analogues 22-25 (Scheme V) as models of sterically constrained phenylcyclopropanes have been studied by means of flash vacuum pyrolysis.In most cases the major pathway was cleavage of the "internal" C(1)-C(5) cyclopropane bond followed by a 1,2-hydrogen or a 1,2-phenylshift in the resulting biradical.For 6-phenylbenzobicyclohex-2-ene (25), substantial cleavage of the "external" C(1)-C(6) cyclopropane bond was observed, the phenyl substitution pattern being favorable for stabilization of the resulting biradical 62.Phenyl-substituted 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes 44, 47, 51, and 55 are among the major products.Comparison of the plots of the pyrolysis product composition of the 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes vs. pyrolysis temperature with similar plots of the title compounds (22-25) suggested that some of the minor products, viz., the 1,2-divinylbenzenes 31, 42, and 49, are formed via carbenes 30, 41, 50, 57, and 61 rather than via biradicals.Especially at higher pyrolysis temperatures, a large amount of an oxidation product, viz., 1- or 2-phenylnaphthalene (48 or 54), is formed.

The photochemical rearrangements of phenyl-substituted benzobicyclohex-2-enes can generally be explained by assuming that homolytic fission of that cyclopropane bond which leads to the most stable diradical is the primary step.The final products are formed by 1,2 hydrogen shifts in the intermediate.An exception to this general pattern was observed with 5-phenylbenzobicyclohex-2-ene (5).The photoproducts of 5 could only be explained by assuming reverse di-?-methane rearrangements followed by 1,3 hydrogen shifts.It is argued that this reaction path is followed because of the high rate to the back-reaction of the homolytic bond fission of 5.
Photochemistry of chloro-2-vinylstilbenes

Short irradiation at 300 nm of α-chloro- and β-chloro-2-vinylstilbene (20 and 21) leads to a mixture of 2-vinyltolane (35) and 2-vinylstilbene (1) accompanied by the cis- and trans-isomers of the starting compounds.Evidence is found for the occurrence of an ionic intermediate during the photolysis of 20 in methanol.At 360 nm, an additional, small amount of 1-chloro-endo- and 1-chloro-exo-6-phenylbenzobicyclohex-2-ene (39) is formed formed from 20.The elimination of hydrogen chloride also occurs during the irradiation of 2-(2-chlorovinyl)stilbene (23) and leads to 2-ethynylstilbene (41).The acetylenic compounds are photocyclized into 2-phenylnaphthalene (38).However, 2-(1-chlorovinyl)stilbene (22) reacts without loss of chlorine to give 1-chloro-exo-5-phenylbenzobicyclo-hex-2-ene (40).This exceptional reaction mode is due to a much higher rate of photocyclization resulting from less distortion in the stilbene moiety and a preference for a conformation better suited to the reaction of the 2-(1-chlorovinyl)stilbene molecule.It is shown that both isomers of 22 can photocyclize into 40.
