摘要
Enthalpies of stabilization of polyenyl radicals of increasing order previously obtained by thermal geometrical isomerization are applied to the ethylene-cyclobutane paradigm. Progressively lower enthalpies of activation for thermal cyclodimerization. and its reverse, cycloreversion, are predicted and realized. Photochemical dimerization at -75 degreesC of the optically pure tetraene of the title (1) at the semicyclic double bond produces in the main only one (4-axx) of the three allowed cyclobutanes (4), to which the tentative configuration anti-exo,exo is assigned. Equilibration among the three cyclobutanes (4), a slower rearrangement to a thermodynamically considerably more stable, [8 + 8] cyclohexadecahexaene (16), and a surprisingly slow fragmentation to 1 are studied kinetically between -42.3 and -8.2 degreesC. Cycloreversion of the dimer 16 to monomer 1 occurs in the range 60.4-86.6 degreesC (DeltaH double dagger = 31.7 kcal mol(-1), DeltaS double dagger = +10.8 cal mol(-1) K-1). The ratio of the rates of stereomutation and cycloreversion is significantly larger in these 1,2-dihexatrienylcyclobutanes than in two less strongly stabilized, previously published examples. Them possible extension of Doubleday's calculational finding of entropic control of products from cyclobutane is considered.
