A series of molecular clefts containing convergent functional groups has been developed.The rotational processes occurring within these molecules have been investigated by dynamic NMR experiments and these results are compared with those obtained from mol

Four new cyclopropenes have been synthesized and their photochemistry has been investigated.Thus, 3-methyl-1,2-diphenyl-3-(2-phenylallyl)cyclopropene was found on direct photolysis to afford four photoproducts, the two major products of which derived from novel photochemistry. 2-Methylene-4-methyl-5,6-diphenyltetracyclo1,504,6>undeca-8,10-diene derived from cycloaddition of the excited cyclopropenyl ? bond to the C-1,C-2 ? bond of the phenyl of the 2-phenylallyl side chain.The quantum yield for this novel transformation was 0.023.A second photoproduct was 2-methyl-1,4,6-triphenyltricyclo2,6>hexane.This product results from a formal cycloaddition of the excited cyclopropenyl ? bond to the allyl double bond.A diradical mechanism is structurally equivalent.Formation of such a tricyclic 2,6> system is normally not found in direct irradiations.The quantum yield for this product was 0.088.Also formed was 3-methyl-1,2,5-triphenylbicyclohex-2-ene with an efficiency of 0.019.This product is understood as deriving either (i) from cyclopropene opening to a carbene which then adds to the allyl ? bond or (ii) from a bicyclic diradical arising from vinyl-vinyl bonding.The fourth photoproduct is 2-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-3-(2-phenylallyl)cyclopropene.The efficiency was 0.018.The bicyclic diradical above provides a common species leading to the last three products.Sensitization led only to the first two products: the tetracyclic diene (φ=0.26) and the tricyclo2,6>hexane (φ=0.15).Product structures were established by X-ray, degradation, independent synthesis, and spectral analysis.In addition, the photochemistry of cis- and trans-2,6-dimethyl-1,6-diphenylspirooct-1-ene was investigated.Stereoisomerization resulted from the singlet but not the triplet.Mechanisms for the above transformations are considered.Finally, corresponding thermal chemistry exhibited by the above compounds was investigated.
