[reaction: see text] Experimental evidence is reported for the reversible formation of the singlet diazenyl diradical ((1)DZ), photolytically generated from the structurally elaborate DBH-type azoalkane. Reversiblity of the (1)DZ formation manifests itself through the decrease of the photodenitrogenation quantum yield over a ca. 40-fold viscosity variation (from 0.5 to 19.3 cP). This viscosity behavior is interpreted in terms of frictional effects on the competitive reaction modes of the diazenyl diradical.

Understanding the mechanism of the denitrogenation of 1-pyrazolines is of fundamental importance due to the unusual stereochemical preferences (major single inversion) seen in the product formation. In the present work, a detailed investigation on the mechanisms of the thermal denitrogenation of 1-pyrazoline was undertaken using CASSCF and CASPT2 methods with 6-31+G*, 6-311+G*, cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. The CASSCF calculations were performed with a series of different active spaces.

The origin of the inversion stereoselectivity of housane formation via photochemical nitrogen extrusion of diazabicycloheptene (DBH) has been investigated using reaction path computations and multireference second-order perturbation theory within a CASPT2//CASSCF scheme. We show that the primary photoproduct of the reaction is an exo-axial conformer of the diazenyl diradical ((1) DZ) which displays a cyclopenta-1,3-diyl moiety with a Cs-like structure. (1) DZ is selectively generated via decay at a linear-axial conical intersection, and it is located in a shallow region of the ground state potential energy surface that provides access to five different reaction pathways.

The photochemical denitrogenation of the cyclopentene-annelated DBH-type azoalkanes 1 has been examined in solution as a function of bridgehead substitution and temperature. For all derivatives, namely, the unsubstituted 1a(H/H), monomethyl 1b(Me/H) dimethyl 1c(Me/Me), monophenyl 1d(Ph/H), and diphenyl 1e(Ph/Ph), the temperature-dependent ratio of syn and anti housanes 2 provides experimental support for a competition between the singlet (high temperature) and triplet (low temperature) reaction channels in the direct photolysis. The syn/anti ratio of the housanes 2 depends on the extent and type of bridgehead substitution; the amount of the anti diastereomer (retention) follows the order Ph > Me > H, and double substitution is more effective than single.
