Popis: | 3-Methylene-1,4-cyclohexadiene, 1,5-methylene-1,3-cyclohexadiene, 2, 1-methylene-1,4-dihydronaphthalene, 5, and 9-methylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene, 8, react with second-order kinetics in benzene solution. The activation parameters for the reaction of 1, 5, and 8, especially the frequency factor, suggest a nonconcerted reaction with little orientational demand in the transition state. The frequency factor for the reaction of 2 suggests a concerted pathway. The product distribution from each compound reinforces the kinetic observations. The products from the pyrolysis of 1 could be rationalized by a radical cage intermediate, which could combine or disproportionate. The reaction products from 5 indicate a radical chain oligomerization. The reaction of 8 gives an insoluble solid. o-Isotoluene (2) gives ene dimers. 18 references. |
