To expand the utility of α-cleavage at cryogenic temperatures, we investigated the photoreactivity of 2-azido-2-phenyl-1,3-indandione (1). EPR spectroscopy revealed that irradiating 1 in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (mTHF) matrices forms alkylnitrene 32, which has zero-field splitting parameters (D/hc = 1.5837 cm-1 E/hc = 0.0039 cm-1) typical of an alkylnitrene. IR spectroscopy demonstrated that irradiating 1 in argon matrices results in the concurrent formation of 32, imine 3, benzocyclobutenedione 4, and benzonitrile 5.

Photolysis of indan-l,2,3-trion (la), benzo[ft]furan-2,3-dione (lb), and N-methylisatin (1c) in argon matrix either with or without oxygen at 10 K was investigated by IR spectroscopy in combination with DFT calculations. The results indicate that while 1a and 1b gave the products mixture as a result of α-cleavage, followed by decarbonylation, 1c was rather photostable under similar conditions. However, when the irradiation was carried out in argon matrix doped with 20% oxygen, 1c decomposed much more efficiently than that in argon matrix and cyclic diacyl peroxide presumably formed by trapping of initial diradical originating from α-cleavage by molecular oxygen was detected. Similar irradiation of 1b also gave cyclic diacyl peroxide along with photodecarbonylation products, but irradiation of 1a in oxygen-doped matrix produced not only cyclic diacyl peroxide but also products as a result of oxidation of photodecarbonylation product. The present observation reveals that photolysis of ketones in oxygen-doped matrix at low temperature provides useful information concerning the reactivities of ketones toward α-cleavage.
High-Intensity Laser-Jet Photochemistry: Formation of Benzocyclobutenedione from 1,2,3-Indantrione via Transient Targeting

The photochemistry of 1,2,3-indantrione (1) under high-intensity (laser-jet) conditions has been investigated.Irradiation of trione 1 in a benzene solution under laser-jet conditions produces a complex mixture in which benzocyclobutenedione (2) is observed to be the sole high-intensity product (ca. 11percent yield, six cycles, 3..5 W MLUV argon ion laser) as compared to conventional irradiation (dispersed laser beam, 20 min, 3.5 W MLUV argon ion laser).Under similar conditions, dione 2 was not observed to undergo photolysis in the laser-jet (mass balance ca. 90percent).Additionally, phthalic anhydride, (E)-1,1'-bis-isobenzofuranylidene-3,3'-dione ((E)-4), and 2-benzopyrano-benzopyran-6,12-dione (5) were identified also in both the laser-jet and conventional irradiations of both trione 1 and dione 2.In view of the previously reported product studies, it is proposed that the formation of dione 2 under laser-jet conditions occurs by a photochemical electrocyclization of the intermediary cyclohexadiene-1,2-bisketene (B).The decarbonylation of trione 1 to bisketene B and the electrocyclization of the transient bisketene B to dione 2 constitute an unprecedented sequential multiple-photon transformation of polyketones in solution, which has been uncovered through product studies by using the novel laser-jet technique.

Experimentally simple syntheses of benzocyclobutenedione and substituted benzocyclobutenediones (3-OH; 4-OH; 4-Me; 3-OH, 5-Me) are described which allow the synthesis of these compounds on large scale from inexpensive starting materials.The regiospecific and stereoselective cycloaddition of trimethylsiloxy dienes to 1,4-dichloro-3,3,4-trifluorocyclobutene forms the basis of the synthesis of the substituted benzocyclobutenediones.
Thermolysis of Thiophenedicarboxylic Acid Anhydrides as a Route to Five-Membered Hetarynes

Flow vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of the anhydrides of thiophene-2,3- (5) and -3,4-dicarboxylic acid (6) and of thianaphthene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (7) in the presence of thiophene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, or benzene gave thianthrene (15a), presumably by aromatization of an intermadiate Diels-Alder adduct of the diene traps and the aryne 2,3-didehydrothiophene (8).A similar rationale explains the formation of dibenzothiophene from 7 and thiophene, the four monomethylthianaphthenes 22-25 from 5 and cyclopentadiene, 5,6-dimethylthianaphthene (15f) from 5 and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, and a mixture of hydroxythianaphthenes (15d) from 5 and furan.The latter reaction also produces a mixture of isomeric cyclopentanothiophenes (19) which probably arise by decarbonylation of 15d.An FVT reaction of 5 with propyne as the trap gave a mixture of allenyl-(28) and propynylthiophenes 29 which probably arise by an ene reaction of the trap and the aryne 8.Decomposition of the anhydrides 5 and 6 in molten anthracene led only to Friedel-Crafts products such as thienylanthracenes 33 and quinones 34 from 5 and 39 and 40 from 6.The diene reactivity of thiophene 13a in the gas phase was demonstrated by the formation of naphthalene from its reaction with benzyne generated from the thermolysis of indanetrione and by the formation of indene from 13a plus cyclopentadiene.Possible, but improbable, interpretations of the FVT results without invoking a five-membered hetaryne intermediate are considered.
