The reaction of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-thioxocyclobutanone (1) with dimethyl diazomalonate in the presence of Rh2(OAc)4 in toluene at 50_C yielded a mixture of three products 10, 11, and 12. Thiocarbonyl ylide 8 is believed to be the common intermediate. The formation of 10 is rationalized by the 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of 8 to give spirocyclic thiirane 9, which spontaneously eliminated sulfur. On the other hand, the 1,5- dipolar electrocyclization of 8 led to 1,3-oxathiole 11, which is converted into lactone 12 by hydrolysis.
In the presence of catalytic amounts of Rh2(OAc)4 in toluene, dimethyl diazomalonate (1) decomposed with evolution of N2 to form a carbenoid of type 8 which reacted with carboxamides 2 and toluenesulfonamide (4) to,give 2-(acylamino)-and 2-(sulfonylamino)malonates 3 and 5, respectively. In an analogous reaction, alpha-diazo ketone 6 and 4 yielded N-(2-oxo-1, 2-diphenylethyl)toluenesulfonamide (7).
