Abstract
The viability of utilizing 1-bicyclo [4.1. 0] heptanylmethyl radical (3) to serve as a progenitor of seven-membered carbocycles was examined. Rate constants for the rearrangement of this radical to 3-methylenecycloheptyl radical (4) and 2-methylenecyclohexyl-1-methyl radical (6) were measured using the competition method of 3 with thiophenol over the temperature range of-75 to 59° C. Arrhenius functions were calculated for the conversions ...
