Abstract
[GRAPHICS] Bisketenes O=C=CH(CH2)(n)CH=C=O (1b,c,d, n = 4, 3, 6) and (E)-O=C=CHCH=CHCH =C=O (E-13) were generated in solution by dehydrochlorination of bis(acyl c hlorides) and by photochemical Wolff rearrangements and identified by their characteristic IR signals. The bisketenes react with aminoxyl radicals to give tetraaddition products for lb and conjugate 1,6-diaddition for E-13.
