The tetraalkyl-1-pyrazolin-4-ones 5 react with hydrazine to afford the hydrazones 6 which are transformed into the thiones 7 in high yields by treatment with disulphur dichloride in the presence of triethylamine.Selective excitation of the azo chromophor of 7a with 350-nm light gives rise to the isopropylidenethiirane 8, besides molecular nitrogen, in a very clean reaction; at almost quantitative conversions, less than 2percent of byproducts are observed, and about 10percent of 8 have isomerized to the pentadienethiol 9.Photolysis of the stereoisomers cis- and trans-7b yields mixtures of the alkylidenethiiranes (E)- and (Z)-10 with (E)/(Z) ratios of 35:65 and 49:51.The results are interpreted in terms of diastereomeric bis-orthogonal (cis- and trans-21) and mono-orthogonal thioxyallyl diradicals (E)- and (Z)-23 which cyclize to furnish (E)- and (Z)-10.There seems to be a qualitative resemblance between the photochemical and thermal stabilities in the series of 4-substituted tetramethyl-1-pyrazolines, viz. 7a oct-2-ene derivatives.
