Twelve sulfonyl stabilised phosphorus ylides have been prepared and their behaviour upon flash vacuum pyrolysis at 600°C has been examined. Examples with an arylsulfonyl substituent undergo loss of Ph3PO to give intractable products but those with an arylmethylsulfonyl substituent separately lose Ph3P and SO2 to give products consistent with the intermediacy of sulfonyl carbenes. X-Ray structure determinations of one ylide from each series show a more significant P-O non-bonding interaction in the first case, providing some explanation for the different thermal reactivity.

Study has been made of neighobing heteroatom interaction in thermolysis and photolysis of proximally substituted aryldiazomethanes.Thus, (8-bromo-1-naphthyl)diazomethane (1c) isomerize at 132 deg C to 9-bromo- (18a), 9-iodo- (18b), and 6,9-dichloro-3H-benzindazoles (18c).Indazoles 18a and 18b are reduced by lithium aluminum hydride to 3H-benzindazole (21), identical with that from decomposition of N-(1-methyl-2-naphthyl)-N-nitrosoacetamide (19). 1-Naphthyldiazomethane (1e) does not isomerize however to 21; in benzene at -78 deg c, 1e converts to trans-bis(1-naphthyl)ethylene (22b), 1-naphthalzine (26), and 7-(1-naphthyl)cycloheptatriene (24) wich rearranges to 1-(1-naphthyl)cycloheptatriene (25) whean heated.Irradiation of 1a in ethyl ether results in trans-bis(8-bromo-1-naphthyl)ethylene (22c) and 1-bromo-1Hcyclobutanaphthalene (4a), the first aryne bridged in its peri positions by a single carbon atom moiety.Aqueous silver nitrate converts 4a tp 1H-cyclobutanaphthyl nitrate (4b) and 1-naphthaldehyde (28), presumably by ring opening of 1-hydroxy-1H-cyclobutanaphhtalene (27).Reaction of 4a with magnesium and hydrolysis of the resulting Grignard reagent yield 1H-cyclobutanaphthalene (4d), a hydrocarbon acid wich udergoes deuterium exchange at C-1 considerably slower than to acenaphthene (29) and diphenylmethane (30).Thermolysis and photolysis of diazomethane (1d) to give 2-methyl-2H-naphthothiophene (33) are of note in that methylthio participation in 8-(methylthio)-1-naphthylidene (2d) and thia-Stevens rearrangement appear to be involved. (o-Iodophenyl)diazomethane (5a) thermolyzes to trans-bis(o-iodophenyl)ethylene and o-iodobenzalazine (36); products of reaction of the iodine moiety with the carbenic center in o-iodobenzylidene (6a) were not found.Thermolysis however of (o-(methylthio)phenyl)diazpmethane (5b) results in inrtamolecular C-H insertion to yield 4,5-dihydrothiophene (37) along with trans-bisethylene (38) and o-(methylthio)benzalazine(39).Intermolecular carbenic interception does occur in photolysis of 5b iin that 2-(2-ethoxy-1-propyl)thioanisole (40) is formed along with 398 and 39.The mechanisms of the various participation processes in the above substituted 1-naphthylidenes are discussed.
