Cyclic 3-alkoxy-3-aryloxyvinylcarbenes can be generated by a highly exo-selective intramolecular cyclization of a dioxycarbene onto a tethered triple bond. Like their dialkoxy counterparts, the 3-alkoxy-3-aryloxyvinylcarbene intermediates are capable of interesting reactions. In contrast to 3,3-dialkoxyvinylcarbenes, which undergo a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition with highly electron-deficient olefins such as benzylidenemalononitrile, 3-alkoxy-3-aryloxyvinylcarbenes undergo a highly diastereoselective [1 + 2] cycloaddition with benzylidenemalononitrile to give cyclopropylketene acetals. At high temperatures, those cyclopropylketene acetals undergo a clean vinylcyclopropane rearrangement in which the stereochemical integrity of the cyclopropane is retained. Keywords: carbene, alkoxyaryloxy, [1 + 2] cycloaddition, ketene acetal, vinylcyclopropane rearrangement, oxadiazoline.

Dialkoxycarbenes with a tethered triple bond, generated from the corresponding oxadiazolines, undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the tethered alkyne moiety to give 3,3-dialkoxyvinylcarbene/1,3-dipole intermediates. The regioselectivity of the carbene cyclization is highly dependent upon the nature of the alkyne substituent. In the cases where an exocyclic vinylcarbene is generated, the vinylcarbene intermediate can undergo a synthetically useful [3 + 2] cycloaddition with either an appropriate olefin or an alkyne. This approach allows the rapid construction of some interesting heterocyclic ring systems. Keywords: carbene, dialkoxycarbene, vinylogous dialkoxycarbene, heterocycle.

The lithium and sodium salts of 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, n-butylamine, and the lithium salt of isobutylamine were studied as potential reagents for isomerization of triple bonds in alkyn-1-ols. The sodium salts of the diamines afforded high yields of the ω-alkyn-1-ol. Somewhat surprisingly, the sodium salt of n-butylamine also effects isomerization to the terminal position. The lithium salt of 1,3-diaminopropane gave the highest conversion of 2- to 3-alkyn-1-ol. A novel, selective rearrangement of one triple bond of a diynol, a 2, ω- to 3, ω-diyn-1-ol isomerization, was incorporated into a synthesis of the insect sex pheromone 3,13-octadecadienol acetate.

Intramolecular addition of a C(sp3)–H bond of a dimethylamino group across a C–C triple bond in 2-alkynyl-N,N-dimethylanilines was effectively catalyzed by a new iridium complex IrCl(DTBM-SEGPHOS)(C2H4) in mesitylene at 150 °C. The intramolecular C(sp3)–H addition was followed by double bond isomerization to afford 3-substituted indoles in good to high yields.
