Abstract

Abstract: Fluorenylidene adds to aliphatic ketones to give carbonyl ylide intermediates. With acetone, for example, laser flash photolysis experiments showed that the rate constant for this reaction was 1 X lo7 M-'s-] in acetonitrile solvent. The resulting carbonyl ylide had an absorption spectrum with A,,= 640 nm and in the absence of quenchers underwent ring closure to the corresponding oxirane. The lifetimes, ryr for the ring closure reaction are ...
