Photochemistry of matrix-isolated 5-cyano-2<i>H</i>-pyran-2-one (δ-cyano-α-pyrone) and cyanocyclobuta-1,3-diene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Matrix-isolation photochemistry (λ > 299 nm; Ar, 10 K) of 5-cyano-2H-pyran-2-one (5, δ-cyano-α-pyrone) shows complete conversion to a mixture of several ring-opened ketene isomers (6) and a ring-closed Dewar lactone (7), as detected by infrared spectroscopy. Subsequent irradiation (λ > 200 nm) causes decarboxylation of the Dewar lactone (7) to produce cyanocyclobuta-1,3-diene (8). Continued irradiation (λ > 200 nm) results in the photodecomposition of cyanocyclobuta-1,3-diene (8) to cyanoacetylene and acetylene. 4-Cyanopyridine (10) was explored as an alternative photochemical precursor to cyanocyclobuta-1,3-diene (8). It was found, however, that 10 does not exhibit observable photochemistry under our irradiation conditions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
