4-Pentenylketenes 4a and 9 and cyclopropylketenes 3a, 13, 14 (RCH=C=O) are generated by photochemical Wolff rearrangements and observed by IR as relatively long-lived species at room temperature in hydrocarbon solvents. The reactions of these ketenes with the nitroxyl radicals tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO, TO?) and tetramethylisoindoline-2-oxyl (TMIO, IO?) form carboxy substituted 5-hexenyl and cyclopropylmethyl radicals which are either trapped by a second nitroxyl radical or undergo rearrangements followed by trapping. The rate constant of the reaction of 4a with TEMPO was similar to that of n-BuCH=C=O (1b), while 3a was 4.3 times more reactive, indicating cyclopropyl stabilization of the incipient radical.

The enantiomers of 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid are separated by esterification with the hydroxy group of optically active mandelic acid methyl ester, crystallization of the diastereomeric esters and subsequent hydrolysis of the diastereomeric esters.
Menthyl 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and resolution of the same

An ester obtained from 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and optically active menthol, represented by the formula, STR1 is effectively resolved into diastereomers, which upon hydrolysis give optically active 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid.
