Journal ArticleDOI
Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis: Techniques and Reactions.
TL;DR: This review presents the most important methods as well as a survey of typical reactions and observations that can be achieved with the various techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Thermally Populated, Perpendicularly Twisted Alkene Triplet Diradical.
TL;DR: Variable-temperature NMR and ESR spectroscopic studies reveal that bis(dibenzo[a,i]fluorenylidene) 1 possesses a singlet ground state, 1(S0 ), while the 90° twisted triplet 1(T1 ) is populated to a small extent already at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Interconversion of Phenylcarbene and Tropylidene. Preliminary communication
Curt Wentrup,K. Wilczek +1 more
TL;DR: Phenyl carbene and tropylidene interconvert in the gas phase, as evidenced by the formation of stilbene and heptafulvalene (5) from both at 300°.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenylnitrene, Phenylcarbene, and Pyridylcarbenes. Rearrangements to Cyanocyclopentadiene and Fulvenallene
TL;DR: Calculations support a new mechanism whereby 2-pyridylcarbene rearranges in part via 1-azacyclohepta-1,2,4,6-tetraene 36 to phenylnitrene, which then undergoes direct ring contraction to cpCN, which is exclusively labeled on the CN carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct observation of α-oxo ketenes formed from 1,3-dioxin-4-ones and the enols of β-keto esters
Beat Freiermuth,Curt Wentrup +1 more
TL;DR: The enol forms of β-keto esters thermolyze to alcohols and α-oxo ketenes, which are characterized by low-temperature IR spectroscopy and on warming regenerate the β-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated esters as discussed by the authors.
