Abstract

I-vinylcyclohexene (20); and 15 gives bicyclo [5.2. 0] non-l (9)-ene (22a), bicyclo [5.2. 0] non- l-ene (22b), unsym-hexamethyleneallene (23), and bicyclo [6.1. O] non-I-ene (24). Photofragmentation products, acetylene, and cyclohexene (1) or cycloheptene (21) are also obtained from 14 or 15, respectively. The fate of the olefinic methylene group was traced by determining the position of deuterium labeling in the products from copper (1)-promoted ...
