β¦ Synopsis
Scheme I 4 ,,R + Fe(C0)5 L 4 CRFe(CO), hu-The question whether acetylenic a-electrons might play a similar role in reactions of cyclopropylacetylene systems was the initial point of interest in the present study.
From the outset, however, it was apparent that on irradiation of cyclopropylacetylene (L)2
with Fe(C0)5 in solution (hexane or CH2C12),' only the acetylenic portion of the molecule is involved. From the reaction mixture a black organometallic material (2_) obtained directly as a precipitate (in hexane) or on evaporation of the solution (CH2C12) yielded on oxidative degradation 2,5-and 2,6-dicyclopropylbenzoquinones (3 and 3 Scheme II) in overall yield-70%.
