2,3- and 2,5-Dicyanobenzobarrelenes 5 and 6 have been synthesized and subjected to triplet-sensitized photoisomerization. 2,3-Dicyanobenzobarrelene 5 gave two di-pi -methane rearrangement products 7 and 8 and a [2 pi +2 pi] -cycloaddition product 9. However, 2,5-dicyanobenzobarrelene 6 formed a single di-Tc-methane product 13. The formation of these products is discussed in terms of the radical stabilizing effect of the substituents and the destabilizing effect on the formation of the cyclopropane ring,

Altundas, R; Dastan, A; Unaldi, NS; Guven, K; Uzun, O; Balcı, Metin (2002-02-01)
2,3-Disubstituted benzobarrelene and benzonorbornadiene derivatives 16, 17, and 18, containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, have been synthesized and subjected to triplet-sensitized photoisomerization. Methyl 3-methyl-2-benzobarrelenecarboxylate (16) gave two di-pi-methane rearrangement products. However, methyl 3-cyano-2-benzobarrelenecarboxyidte (17) underwent an intramolecular [2(pi) + 2(pi)] cycloaddition reaction, whilst methyl 3cyano-2-benzonorbornadienecarboxylate (18) for...
Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangement of cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane: an ab initio study
Zora, Metin; Özkan, İlker (2003-05-05)
Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangements of cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane, obtained by RHF/6-31G* and MP2(full)/6-31G*//RHF/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis-, cis,trans- and trans,trans- 1,5-cyclooctadienes, respectively. cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane rearranges via an endo-boatlike transition structure and yields the corresponding cis,cis product with higher exo...
Addition of dibromocarbene to cyclobutene: characterisation and mechanism of formation of the products
Algi, Fatih; Hokelek, Tuncer; Balcı, Metin (2004-10-01)
Cyclobutene reacted with dibromocarbene in solution to give 1,5-dibromocyclopent-1-ene (9), 1,2,6, 6-tetrabromobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (10), and 1,2,3,6-tetrabromocyclohex-1-ene (11), in a ratio of 1:4:8, respectively. Compounds 10 and 11 were found to be formed from a second carbene addition and rearrangement under the given reaction conditions.
A novel class of compounds: synthesis of 5,5 '-carbonyl-bis(5,6-dihydro-4H-furo- and thieno-[2,3-c]pyrrol-4-ones)
KOZA, GANİ; Balcı, Metin (2011-11-11)
We hereby report the first synthesis of novel class of compounds, 5,5'-carbonyl-bis(5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno- and furo-[2,3-c]pyrrol-4-one starting from methyl 2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl) thiophene- and furan-3-carboxylate, respectively. The ester functionalities connected to methylene group were regiospecifically converted to the desired monoacyl azides. Curtius rearrangement of acyl azides followed by hydrolysis of the formed isocyanates gave the symmetrical urea derivatives. Cyclization of the ester groups pro...

Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangements of cis-1,2-divinylcyclopropane, obtained by RHF/6-31G* and MP2(full)/6-31G*//RHF/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis-, cis,trans- and trans,trans-1,4-cycloheptadienes, respectively. cis- 1,2-Divinylcyclopropane rearranges via an endo-boatlike transition structure and yields the corresponding cis,cis product with higher ...
