Carbocyclic carbenes, bicycloocta-2,6-dien-4-ylidene (1) and bicyclooct-2-en-4-ylidene (2), were generated by photolysis of the corresponding diazo compounds, 6 and 10, which were prepared by careful vacuum pyrolysis of the sodium salts of t

Pyrolytic decomposition of the lithium or potassium salt of the tosylhydrazone of bicycloocta-3,6-dien-2-one (11) or photolysis of the lithium salt of 11 results in the formation of bicycloocta-2,6-diene (12), tricyclo2,7>oct-3-ene (13), tetracyclo2,8.04,6>octane (14), semibullvalene (15), 5-ethynyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (16), and endo-6-ethynylbicyclohex-2-ene (17).The formation of the C8H8 fraction (15-17) is ascribed to insertion and rearrangement reactions of singlet 2-carbenabicyclooctadiene, whereas the formation ofthe C8H10 fraction (12-14) appears to be the result of hydrogen abstraction reactions of the corresponding triplet carbene or closely related species.
