TL;DR: In this article, the transient ketenes are observable in the form of weak bands at 2130 (7a) or 2115 cm−1======672(7b) in the Ar matrix IR spectra resulting from either FVT or photolysis of either 5 or 1,1-dimethylpyrazolium-5-oxides 8, and these absorptions are in excellent agreement with B3LYP/6-31G* frequency calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fleeting Molecules Extend Their Stay
TL;DR: In his Perspective, [Wentrup] charts recent progress in the synthesis of stable carbenes and highlights the report by [ SolA© et al .], who have succeeded in synthesizing an unusually stable carbene that retains its reactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hetarylnitrenes V. Reactions of Tetrazolopyrazine Ring Contraction of Nitrenodiazines in Solution. Preliminary communication
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that tetrazolopyrazine in organic solvents gives pyrazinylnitrene (2) which undergoes ring contraction to 1-cyanoimidazole (3).
Journal ArticleDOI
C9H8 Pyrolysis. o-Tolylacetylene, Indene, 1-Indenyl, and Biindenyls and the Mechanism of Indene Pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that key C-C bond breakages in indene have free energies of activation of ca. 80 ± 5 kcal/mol with formation of the 1-indenyl radical.
