These unusual molecules have been found 2 (1) (a) R. J. Bailey, Ph. D. Dissertation, The Ohio State University, 197^; (b) P. Card, Ph.D. Dissertation, The Ohio State University, 1976; (c) F.

As yet however the preparative methods for 1-^, their derivatives, and their analogs are lengthy, inversatile, and unadaptable for large-scale synthesis. A study has been presently made of the chemistry of various 2 3 diazoacenaphthenone derivatives ((+). The principal objectives of this effort are (1 ) to determine the electronic and steric effects of substituents in inducing possible Wolff rearrangements of k to their corresponding ketenes, 1H- cyclobutafde]naphthalen-l-ylidenemethanone derivatives (6 ), as in equation 1 , (2 ) to study the various insertion and -> Z Z 7 Z capture reactions of the intermediate alpha-ketocarbenes £ derivable from thermolysis, photolysis, and metal ion- catalyzed decompositions of 4, and (3 ) to elaborate various 1 ,3-dipolar addition reactions of 4 with appropriate acceptor substrates. The specific diazo ketones selected for this research are: diazoacenaphthenone (£), 2-diazo-5-nitroace- naphthenone (8 ), 2-diazo-5 ,6-dinitroacenaphthenone (§), 2 -diazo-3 »S-dimethoxyacenaphthenone (10) and 2-diazoace- anthrenone (11). OCH 10 11 A further aspect of this research is investigation of base-catalyzed decomposition of acenaphthenequinone bis(jc- tosylhydrazone) (12). One of the objectives is to study possible generation of 1 ,2-bisdiazoacenaphthene (1^) and its subsequent decomposition to acenaphthylyne (1^-) as in equation 2. Acenaphthylyne (1^) is of our interest because TosHNN NNHTos 2B -2N, -> -> (2) -2B ,-Toj 12 of its structural similarity to benzyne and it is expected to have significant reactivity in cycloaddition and with various electrophiles and nucleophiles. In this work, some interesting results have been observed and will be presented. HISTORICAL 1-Bromo-lH-cyclobuta [de]naphthalene (12)» the first naphthalene bridged in its 1,8 positions by a single carbon 2 atom moiety, has been synthesized by photolysis of either 8-bromo-l-naphthaldehyde p-tosylhydrazonate (1£) or 8-bromo- 1-naphthyldiazomethane (16) in ether (Eq 3)» Bromide 12 ®Na H=NNTos © 15 (3) B CHN, 11 16 is surprisingly stable and is storable for long periods in air at room temperature. X-Ray^ analysis reveals that 12 is planar and that much of the strain in its cyclobutane section is relieved by accommodation within its naphthalene moiety. 7 (2) R. J. Bailey and H. Shechter, J.

Bromide 1£ undergoes a series of nucleophilic displacements to give stable bridged compounds. For example, treatment of 1£ with sodium azide yields 1 -azido- lH-cyclobuta [de] naphthalene (18, 9^ » Eq *0 • Similar NaN^ (*0 HMPA 18 displacements have been effected with lithium aluminum hydride, sodium thiophenoxide, potassium cyanide, etc. The Grignard reagent (lg) of 1£ is easily prepared and is usuable as a typical organometallic synthon. Thus, acidification of lg yields lH-cyclobuta [de] naphthalene (20, Eq 5)i displacement of methyl iodide gives 1-methyl-lH- cyclobuta Qi§3 naphthalene (21), and carboxylation and hydrolysis results in lH-cyclobuta OieJ naphthalene-1- carboxylic acid (22, Eq 5). 8 20 H MgBr CH 11 + Mg (5) 12 21 1) co^ 2) H^O® 22 The varied chemistry of 1£ and lg is summarized further in the Ph.D. dissertations of Baileyla, Cardlb, and Friedlilc, lH-cyclobuta[d§] naphthalene (20) is also a stable, readily handled, planar hydrocarbon. Its structure is very 3 similar to that of VJ< Electrophilic substitution of 20 by various reagents occurs efficiently at the C-^ and C-5 9 positions and without destruction of the four-membered ring. Thus, nitration of 20 with nitric acid in sulfuric acid or acetic acid produces 4-nitro-lH-cyclobuta [de] naphthalene (2^) and 4,5-dinitro-lH-cyclobuta[le]naphthalene (24, Eq 6 ). HNO (6) NO NO 2 2 20 24- Similar substitutions have been effected with acetyl chloride/ aluminum chloride and bromine and iron. The cyclobutyl ring of 20 is cleaved by hydrogenation however to give 1-methylnaphthalene (2£, Eq 7). H.

Thus acetone and benzaldehyde condense with 2£ to form 1-isopropylidene- lH-cyclobuta[de] naphthalene (28) and 1-benzylidene-lH- cyclobuta[de] naphthalene (2g), respectively. Olefins such as 28 and 22 are quite stable and undergo a wide variety of electropholic and free-radical addition reactions'^’ with retention of the cyclobutanoid moiety. Reduction of 28 with hydrogen over palladium on carbon does result in cleavage of the four-membered ring to give 11 1-isobutylnaphthalene (^2 * ^q 9 )• CH CH Pd/C 28 30 ^ m Ni rv At elevated temperature, 1-methylene-lH-cyclobuta- [de]naphthalene (2 ) undergoes cleavage of its cyclobutyl ring and subsequent hydrogen migration to give 1-naphthyl- acetylene (^1* 73$>» Eq 10).
