Abstract

Abstract: The 3, 3-isopyrazoles IIa-e have been prepared. Irradiation of IIa-e produces the vinyl diazo compounds IXa-e. When the vinyl diazo compounds IXa-e are irradiated at 10 OC the cyclopropenes Xa-d result in high yields. When the irradiation of the vinyl diazo compounds IXa-d is carried out at ca. 5 K in rigid medium (MCIP), the ESR spectrum indicates a stable triplet species is produced. The vinylmethylene structure Ia-d has been ...
