Carbonyl Ylides and the Rearrangement of (+)-trans-2,3-Diisopropenyloxirane
Keyword(s):
The kinetics of the gas phase racemization and rearrangement of 2,3-diisopropenyloxirane have been determined. Comparison with the kinetic data for 2,3-divinyloxirane allows us to exclude the mechanism for the formation of vinyldihydrofuran wherein an inward conrotatory ring opening comprises the first step. The mechanism proposed consists of an isomerization about the carbon–oxygen bond of the carbonyl ylide to form an isomeric intermediate which then undergoes a disrotatory five-centered ring closure to produce 2-isopropenyl-4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran.
