Isomerization of the Bis(triphenylphosphine)platin(0) Complexes of Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1-ene and Bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1(8)-ene Isomrisation of the Bredt-Olefins 3 and 7 as the bis (triphenylphosphine)-Pt(0) complexes 1 and 8 , respectively, has been observed. The bridgehead-olefin 3 as well as the bicyclic olefins 4 , 5 and 6 have also been isomerized with catalytical amounts of (ethylene)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) ( 2 ).     

Synthesis of Bridged Bicyclic Molecules using Halocarbenes. Derivatives of bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane

The addition of dichlorocarbene (generated by the interaction of sodium methoxide and ethyl trichloroacetate) to bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene, its 3-chloro and exo-3,4-dichloro derivatives gives the exo 1 : 1 adducts in yields of 94, 89 and 48%. By suitable chemical reactions of these adducts, convenient syntheses of bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene and bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene, together with their monochloro, dichloro and trichloro derivatives are obtained. Bicyclo[4.2.1]-nonan-3-one is also obtained from bicyclo[4.2.1]non-3-ene in a synthesis starting from the readily available 5-hydroxymethylnorborn-2-ene in an overall yield of 20%.     

[2 + 2]-Cycloadditions to Strained Bridgehead Olefins. II. Diphenylketene

The strained bridgehead olefins bicyclo [3.3.1]non-1-ene ( 1 ), bicyclo [4.2.1 ]non-1(8)-ene ( 2 ), and bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1-ene (3), and the comparable monocyclic (E)-1-methylcyclooctene ( 4 ) react with diphenylketene ( 6 ) to give a single cycloadduct 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 , respectively, in which the diphenyl-substituted C-atom is bound to the bridgehead. The structure of the cyclobutanone 8 has been determined by X-ray analysis of a twin crystal obtained by crystallization with spontaneous enrichment of enantiomers.     

Synthesis of anti-9-Bromo- and anti-9-Chlorobicyclo[4.2.1]nonatriene via Bicyclo[4.2.1]nonatriene→Bicyclo[4.2.1]nonatriene Rearrangement

The first syntheses of 9-bromo- and 9-chlorobicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,6-trienes were each achieved in three stereoselective steps from the 9,9-bis(selenophenyl) derivative 9 in 79% overall yield for the bromide and 64% for the chloride. A deuterium-labeling experiment reveals the first rearrangement of a bicyclo[4.2.1]nonatriene which leaves the ring system intact.     

[2 + 2]-Cycloadditions to Strained Bridgehead Olefins. I. 1, 1-Dichloro-2,2-difluoroethene

The strained bridgehead olefins bicyclo [3.3.1]non-1-ene ( 1 ), bicyclo [4.2.1] non--1-(8) ( 2 ), and bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1-ene ( 3 ) react rapidly with 1,1-dichloro-2, 2--difluoroethene ( 5 ) to yield mixtures of regioisomeric dichlorodifluorocyclobutanes 8/9, 10/11 and 12/13 , respectively. On the contrary, the reaction of 5 with the model compound (E)-l-methylcyclooctene ( 4 ) is completely regioselective. The structure of the cycloadducts has been elucidated mainly by ¹⁹F-NMR. and ¹³C-NMR. spectroscopy.     

Heterohomoconjugation versus heterobicycloconjugation in 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene

The bridged heterocycles, 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane (3), 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-ene (4), 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene (5) and 9-thiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene (2), were examined by photoelectron spectroscopy and the various MO levels theoretically located in each case by CNDO/S calculation. The combined information is best interpretable in terms of localized π interaction between sulfur and ethylene but not butadiene. The conclusion therefore is that thiabicyclotriene 2 is not a heterobicycloconjugated molecule but rather one best described as heterohomoconjugated.     

A facile synthesis of strained bridgehead olefins by a gas-phase elimination reaction

A Remarkable Synthesis of the Bicyclo[4.2.1]Nonenedione System

Allylation of the C-2 enolate of the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonenedione 1 proceeds with an unusual acyl migration to yield the C-allyl ester 5 of the rearranged bicyclo[4.2.1]nonenedione system.     

Synthesis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and N-ethoxycarbonyl-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane

The synthesis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and N-ethoxycarbonyl-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane, starting from bicyclo[5.1.0]octan-2-one, is described. The key step is the cyclopropyl ring fission by pyridinium chloride.     

Synthesis of Si- and N-containing bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-dienes and bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trienes

A [6π+2π] cycloaddition of Si- and N-containing alkynes and 1,2-dienes to cyclohepta-1,3,5-trienes in the presence of the two-component catalytic system (acac)₂TiCl₂-Et₂AlCl gives rise to the corresponding bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene and bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-triene derivatives.     

The Non-planarity of the Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene Double bond. Crystal Structures of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene,Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene,and Bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene Systems

The crystal structures of (1R,4R,5S,8S)-9,10-dimethylidentricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undec2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 3 ), (1R,4R,5S,8S)11-isopropylidene-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.1.m^2,7]undec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 6 ), (1R,4R,5S8S)-9,10-dimethylidenetricyclo[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 9 ), (1R4R5S8S)-TRICYCLO[6.2.2.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7), 9-diene-4,5-dicarboxylic anhydride ( 12 ) and (4R,5S)-tricyclo[6.1.1.0^2.7]dec-2(7)-ene-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ( 16 ) were established by X-ray diffraction. The alkyl substituents onto the endocyclic bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond deviate from the C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), plane by 13.5°4 in 3 and by 13.9° in 6 , leaning toward the endo-face. No such out-of-plane deformations were observed with the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene derivatives 9 and 12 . The exocyclic s-cis-butadiene moieties in 3, 6 and 9 do not deviate significantly from planarity. The deviation from planarity of the double bond n bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives and planarity in bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene analogues is shown to be general by analysis of all known structures in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data File. The non-planarity of the bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene double bond cannot be attributed only to bond-angle deformations which would favour rehybridizatoin of the olefinic C-atoms since the double bond in the more strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hex-2-ene drivative 16 deviates from planarity by less than 4°.     

Synthesis and Chemistry of Bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-1,6-ene

Bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-1,6-ene has been generated by elimination of 1-chloro-2-(trimethysilyl)bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane in the gas phase over solid fluoride at 25 degrees C. The cyclopropene dimerizes by a rapid ene reaction forming two diastereomeric cyclopropenes. In tetrahydrofuran or chloroform the ene dimers couple to form a single crystalline triene tetramer, whereas a mixture of tricyclohexane tetramers is formed when the neat dimers are allowed to warm to room temperature. Oxidation by dimethyldioxirane or dioxygen gives carbonyl products. Quantum mechanical calculations yielded an increase in strain of approximately 17 kcal/mol over that for 1,2-dimethylcyclopropene. The potential enegy barrier to flexing (folding) along the fused double bond of bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-1,6-ene is only approximately 1 kcal/mol at the highest level of theory investigated.     

Functionalized Cycloheptanes from Bicyclo[4.2.1]nonanes

Several oxidative, reductive and C,C-cleavage reactions were performed starting from the three bicyclo[4.2.1]nona-3,7-diene-2-one derivatives 1, 5 and 18 . The oxidations were selective and led to the diols 2,8 and 9 , and the epoxides 6,9 , and 20 . The reductions were selective only in the case of 20 21 ; otherwise they led to mixtures of the alcohols 10 and 11 , and of the dienes 14 and 15 . The periodate ring cleavages afforded the functionalized cycloheptane derivatives 3, 12, 13 and 16 . Configurational assignments were made on the basis of detailed ¹H-NMR and X-ray analysis of 20 .     

1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions to Strained Olefins

The Bredt olefins bicyclo [3.3.1]non-1-ene (2) , bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1 (8)-ene (3) , and bicyclo [4.2.1]non-1 (2)-ene (4) react rapidly with 1,3-dipoles such as diazomethane, phenyl azide, and mesitonitrile oxide to yield mixtures of two regioisomeric cycloadducts 10, 11 and 12 , respectively. On the contrary, cycloaddition to the comparable monocyclic 1-methyl-(E)-cyclooctene (5) is fairly regioselective. 2-Methylnorborn-2-ene (6) gives one isomer with mesitonitrile oxide (as do less strained olefins), but mixtures with diazomethane and phenyl azide. ¹H-NMR. and ¹³C-NMR. spectra of the cycloadducts are reported. The results are discussed in the light of frontier molecular orbital theory.

Ein neuer Zugang zu Bicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-Derivaten

A New Approach to Bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane Derivatives The reaction of the dienone 1 with ethyl α-bromoacetate does not furnish the expected glycidic acid ester 2 but leads to the bicyclo[4.1.0]heptenone derivative 3 . The structure of this new compound has been proved by means of spectroscopic methods (1R, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, MS). The elucidation of the configuration at C(7) could be realized by measuring a NOE effect. Other α-alkylated α-bromoacetates react with 1 in the same manner.
