✦ Synopsis
The reactions of diazoalkanes with tropone have been reported to produce 2,4,6cyclooctatrienones as the only products.2 However, in the course of our studies of periselectivity in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to trienes,"' we have found that cyclooctatrienone is but one of many products formed upon reaction of diazomethane with tropone. In particular, 2,3-homotropone and pyrazolotropones are the major products of this reaction. Pyrazolotropones have been isolated previously from diazometnlne additions to troponoids,5 but our use of the Eu(dpm)o shift reagent has made possible : sofs of two pyrazolotropone structures for the first time. Tropone (10 mmoles) and diazomethane (from 14. mmole Diazald) were allowed to react at 0' in ether solution for 4 days. Thick layer chromatography gave products ,&-L_z in the approximate yields shown based on tropone.
2,4,6_Cyclooctatrienone, A, had spectral properties identical to those of an authentic sample prepared by the method of Cope.' The ir, nmr, and mass spectra of gwere the same as those reported for 2,3-homotroponev and differed significantly from those reported for 4,5-homotropone.e Although the molecular formula of X has been obtained from spectral data, the structure of 2 has not been determined.

## Abstract Novel 2‐pyrazolines were obtained by the cycloaddition of diazomethane to bis(arylsulfonylethenyl)‐sulfones (**3**) and 1‐arylsulfonyl‐2‐styrylsulfonylethenes (7). Dehydrogenation of 2‐pyrazolines with chloranil gave pyrazoles.
We recently reported the periaelective formation of 2:l adduct && in the reaction of tropone with dimethylfu1vene.l This observation of an unprecedented reaction of a fulvene as a 6~ addend has led us to investigate further the mechanism of this reaction.
