The fission of methanol from the diastereomeric 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylhexanes leads to products which are best explained in terms of restriction about the central carbon-carbon bond. As would be expected from its stable conformation the dd,ll diastereomer easily forms the 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3,4-diphenyltetrahydrofuran, but the meso diastereomer forms a tetrahydrofuran with difficulty. On the other hand the meso diastereomer readily undergoes Friedel-Crafts types of condensation leading in different media to either 3,3-dimethyl-1-isopropenyl-2-phenylindane, 3,3-dimethyl-1-isopropyl-2-phenylindene or 5,5,10,10-tetramethyl-4b,5,9b, 10-tetrahydroindeno[2,1-α]-indene. These indenes are the expected products from a consideration of the conformation of the meso-dimethoxydimethyldiphenylhexane which is most free from steric restriction.

Attempted condensation of benzil and benzoin with sodium acetylide in liquid ammonia caused fission of the central carbon-carbon bond of these substances, giving 3-phenylprop-1-yn-3-ol. Condensation of α-bromodeoxyanisoin with the same reagent gave several non-acetylenic products which have been identified.

The crystal structures of 1,1,2,2-tetrabenzoylethane (3), 1,2-diacetyl- 1,2-dibenzoylethane (4) and 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxycarbonylethane (tetraethyl ethanetetracarboxylate ) (5) have been determined by X-ray diffraction from diffractometer data at 295 K and were refined by least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.050 (1077 'observed' reflections), 0.056 (3020) and 0.041 (480), respectively. Crystals of (3) are triclinic, Pī , Z 1, a 6.145(2), b 9.002(3), c 11.261(3) Ǻ; α 101.91(3), β 91.88(3), γ 105.94(3)°. Crystals of (4) are also triclinic, Pī , Z 2, a 17.119(5), b 7.210(1), c 7.175(2) Ǻ, α 89.59(2), β 72.92(2), γ 87.87(2)°. Crystals of (5) are tetragonal, P42/n, Z 4, a 17.748(6), c 5.515(1)Ǻ. In the solid state each compound exists in the keto form which adopts the antiperiplanar conformation about the central carbon-carbon bond.

The thermolysis of the 2-cyanoaziridines (1), 2-alkoxycarbonylaziridines (2), 2-arylaziridines (3), and 2,2-dicyano-3-aryloxiranes (4) leads to a rupture of the carbon –carbon bond yielding an azomethine ylide and the ylide of a carbonyl. The reaction of these ylides of azomethine with methyl acetylene dicarboxylate (MADC) leads to the formation of a 3-pyroline, which is transformed, according to the substituants, to a 2-pyrroline or to pyrrole. The addition of the ylides of carbonyl leads to the formation of dihydrofurans. Through the kinetic treatment of the addition of these heterocyclic compounds (1 to 4) to MADC, it is possible to determine the rate constants for the opening of the C—C bond (k1). In the case of the aziridines 1, the rates have been determined by ir while hplc has been used in the other cases. Relative to the heterocyclic compounds, the order of the experimental rate constants (kex) is always equal to one. In the cases of theN-cyclohexyl-2-cyano-3-alkylaziridines and of the N-cyclohexyl-2-carbomethoxy-3-phenylaziridine, kex varies with the concentration of MADC and this implies that the rate constants for the cycloaddition of the ylide of azomethine and its reclosing to give aziridine are similar. In the other cases, kex is independent of the concentration of MADC and this implies that the heterocyclic compounds are slowly transformed into 1,3-dipoles, followed by a rapid cycloaddition, [Formula: see text].

Reactions of [Cp*Ir(PPh3)Cl2] with various internal acyl­alkynes in the presence of NaBArF 4 resulted in the selective formation of iridacycles via vinylidene rearrangement. 13C-labeling experiments revealed that the acyl group selectively migrates to the other acetylenic carbon atom. This trend is the same as that in the vinylidene rearrangement of internal alkynes at a group 8 metal center.
