Abstract
Vinylcyclopropyl substituted diazenes (e.g. 1 and 15) rearrange when healed . The chemistry takes place via the formation of a trimethylenemethane (TMM ) diyl and provides access to eight-membered rings. When the cyclopropane i s fused to a five-membered ring (e.g. 15) rearrangement leads to a structur e resembling the taxotere framework. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
