Abstract: | reaction: see text] The highly strained cyclic allene 2,3-didehydro-2H-thiopyran was generated by irradiation of matrix-isolated 2-benzothienylchlorocarbene and characterized by IR and UV/vis spectroscopy, in situ trapping, and DFT modeling. Calculations indicate that the allenic moiety in this system, although less aromatic in character, is relatively more stable than in the corresponding oxa system. It is suggested that the thio ring system can more readily accommodate the allenic geometry. |
