Abstract

The reaction of β-substituted cyclopropyl radicals with CO was studied by ESR. Tile acyl radical resulting from the addition of CO to the cyclopropyl radical was detected. At temperatures near 270 K, an intramolecular rearrangement of the acyl radical affords substituted 2-oxocyclobutyl radicals (ring expansion reaction). Mechanisms for the free-radical transformations studied were suggested.
