Small Rings, 89. - An Alternative Synthesis of Tetra-tert-butyltetrahedrane
Maier, Guenther,Fleischer, Frank
, p. 169 - 172 (2007/10/02)
Cyclopropenyldiazomethane 3 is an ideal precursor for tetra-tert-butyltetrahedrane (6).Both, photochemical and thermal decomposition of 3 lead to cyclobutadiene 7, which can be photoisomerized to tetrahedrane 6.Tetra-tert-butyltetrahedrane (6) is also formed directly by a cheletropic cycloaddition of the carbenic center to the cyclopropene double bond in carbene 4.This is the first example for the synthesis of a tetrahedrane, which does not occur via the corresponding cyclobutadiene.The formation of pyridazine 10 dominates the thermolysis of 3.Azete 12 is obtained both by photolysis as well as by thermolysis of Dewar-pyridazine 11, the irradiation product of 10. - Key Words: Cyclobutadiene / Tetrahedrane / Azete / Cyclopropenyldiazomethane / Valence isomers of pyridazine

Diazocompound 1 turns out to be the ideal photochemical precursor for tetrahedrane 3. Upon thermolysis Dewarpyridazine 6 is fragmented quantitatively into tri-tert-butylazete 8 and pivalonitrile 9.
