Abstract: | 4-Pentenylketenes 4a and 9 and cyclopropylketenes 3a, 13, 14 (RCH=C=O) are generated by photochemical Wolff rearrangements and observed by IR as relatively long-lived species at room temperature in hydrocarbon solvents. The reactions of these ketenes with the nitroxyl radicals tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO, TO*) and tetramethylisoindoline-2-oxyl (TMIO, IO*) form carboxy substituted 5-hexenyl and cyclopropylmethyl radicals which are either trapped by a second nitroxyl radical or undergo rearrangements followed by trapping. The rate constant of the reaction of 4a with TEMPO was similar to that of n-BuCH=C=O (1b), while 3a was 4.3 times more reactive, indicating cyclopropyl stabilization of the incipient radical. |
