2110 Journal of the American Chemical Society/102: 6/March 12,¡ 980 and C4-C5 bonds are sufficiently weakened compared with the C1-N2 and N3-C4 bonds in this strained azoalkane that the retrocyclic process via 5* is prefered over N2 extrusion to afford theexpected diradical 4 (eq 1). Of course, instead of the concerted process via 5*, a stepwise mechanism involving first Ci-Cfi bond rupture to yield a diradical is also likely. Whichever the mechanistic course, the thermal behavior of the azoalkane 6 is unusual; however, a few examples have been reported9 in which azoalkanes transform into pyrazolesinstead of expelling molecular nitrogen on heating. In contrast to the thermolysis, direct photolysis of the azo-alkane 5 in~ 10-4 M pentane (Spectroquality) at 254 (quartz vessel) and 350 nm (Pyrex vessel) in a Rayonet reactor gave the expected tricycloalkene 2 (99.0±0.3% at 350 nm and 96.0±0.3% at 254 nm) and the bicycloalkadiene 1 (1.0±0.3% at 350 nm and 4.0±0.3% at 254 nm). Control experiments confirmed that under our photolysis conditions 1 is not trans-formed into 2.10 Consequently, the low yield of 1 suggests that the diradical 4, formed on photoextrusion of N2 from the singlet excited azoalkane 5, efficiently cyclizes into 2 rather than rearranging into diradical 3 to give 1 (eq 1). Apparently, the diradical 4 represents an energy minimum on the singlet ex-cited-state energy surface of the azoalkane. The most surprising result was observed in the benzophenone-sensitized photolysis of azoalkane 5, which was carried out in a Rayonet reactor, equipped with 300-nm lamps and employing solutions~ 10-4 M 5 and~ 10-3 M benzophenone in deaerated C6D6. Only 300-330-nm light was allowed to irradiate the sample by utilizing an appropriate K^ C^ O?/K2CO3 aqueous filter. 4 The only productthat was detected by 1H NMR was the novel diazavinylcyclopropane derivative 7, mp 140 C dec, C11 1 qN2 elementalcomposition by com-bustion analysis, mje 170. The following spectral data8 confirm the structural assignment:* H NMR (CDCI3, Me4Si)(ppm) 1.7-1.85 (2 H, H5, m), 3.3-3.8 (2, H, 6, m), 3.9 (1 H, H9, d, Ji9= 2.9 Hz), 6.7-7.2 (4 H, C6H4, m), 7.5 (1 H, H4, m); 13C NMR (CDCI3, Me4Si)(ppm) 27.24, 33.24, 46.96, 51.47, 123.01, 125.84, 127.30, 127.87, 137.27, 147.02, 156.99; IR (KBr) v (cm" 1) 3050, 3030, 3025, 2955, 2921, 1600, 1480, 1460, 1442, 1345, 1330, 1310, 1230, 1200, 1160, 1070, 1005, 935, 920. This substance is thermally labile, leading to a complex product mixture, but the pyrazole 6 is not produced.
