General description

2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene undergoes ozonolysis in dark to yield hydroxyl radical. Reaction of ozone with 2,3-dimethyl 2-butene (DMB) has been investigated using a flow-tube interfaced to UV photoelectron spectrometer. DMB forms adduct with thianthrene cation radical tetrafluoroborate at 0°C and -15°C.

Application

2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene was employed as substrate in photoinduced molecular transformations involving 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones.

Thianthrene cation radical tetrafluoroborate (Th*+ BF4-) has been found to add to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) at 0 degrees C and -15 degrees C. The adduct, 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-(5,10-thianthreniumdiyl)butane ditetrafluoroborate (12), was isolated at -15 degrees C, and its 1H NMR spectrum was recorded

The mechanism of photocycloaddition of 2'-deoxyuridine (1a) and thymidine (1b) to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (Bu) in acetonitrile by UV irradiation has been studied. The reciprocal quantum yield for the cycloaddition increased linearly with reciprocal concentrations of Bu in acetonitrile to give limiting

Although indirect evidence has suggested that liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 can reductively dehalogenate several compounds to carbene metabolites, there has been no direct proof for the formation of these reactive species. We report in this paper that carbenes can be
