Abstract

Abstract: 4-(Difluoromethylene)-l-pyrazoline and 4-(fluoromethylene)-l-pyrazoline were observed to undergo thermal and photochemical deazetation in the gas phase as well as in solution to form mixtures of methylenecyclopropanes. The gas-phase and solution-phase, thermal, and photochemical results are contrasted, and the observed kinetically controlled product ratios are compared with the very different equilibrium values. As a result, ...
