Carbethoxynitrene, from base-catalyzed a elimination of N-(p-nitrobenzenesulfonoxy) urethane (9), reacts with aliene and 1, 1-dimethylallene to produce 1, 2-cycloaddition products. Tetramethylallene fails to produce an adduct with the nitrene. The results appearto be most consistent with a cycloaddition mechanism in which the initial step is reaction of triplet nitrene with a terminal carbon atom of the allenic moiety. The thermal isomeriza-tion of 2-isopropylidene-/V-carbethoxyaziridine (14) to 2-ethoxy-5, 5-dimethyl-4-methylene-2-oxazoline (5b) is described.The reaction of various types of carbenes or carbenoids with alienes has been investigated and proceeds in an unex-ceptional fashion to yield methylenecyclopropanes regard-less of whetherthe divalent carbon species is in a singlet or triplet spin state. 2· 5 In view of the recent interest in the chemistry of nitrenes, 5 isoelectronic analogs of carbenes, it is somewhat surprising that the corresponding reaction of this species with alienes has received only cursory examination. Thus, the sole reported investigation of this type of reaction is that of Bleiholder and Shechter in which they studied the thermally induced reaction of ethyl azidoformate (1) with tetramethylallene (2) and the photochemi-cally initiated reaction of 1 with 1, 1-dimethylallene (3). 6 The thermal process afforded the triazoline 4 (38%) and the isopropylideneoxazoline 5a (29%) as addition products;
