Abstract

Abstract: Carbocyclic carbenes, bicyclo [3.2. l] octa-2, 6-dien-4-ylidene (1) and bicyclo [3.2. l] oct-2-en-4-ylidene (2), were generated by photolysis of the corresponding diazo compounds, 6 and 10, which were prepared by careful vacuum pyrolysis of the sodium salts of the corresponding tosylhydrazones. The addition reactions of 1 and 2 toward substituted styrenes indicate that the styrene with an electron-withdrawing group is a better acceptor ...
