Nitrochlorination of methyl tricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]heptane-1-carboxylate and phenyl tricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]hept-1-yl sulfone

Treatment of methyl tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptane-1-carboxylate and phenyl tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]hept-1-yl sulfone with a ～1:8 mixture of N₂O₄ and NOCl in diethyl ether at ?5 to 0°C gave products of formal anti-addition of NO₂Cl at the central C¹-C⁷ bond. In the reaction with phenyl tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]hept-1-yl sulfone nitryl chloride acts as an effective chlorinating agent; as a result, a mixture of diastereoisomeric syn- and anti-6,7-dichlorobicyclo[3.1.1]hept-6-yl phenyl sulfones at a ratio of 7.5:1 is formed.

Synthesis of hept-6-en-2,4,5-triols and hept-6-en-2,3,5-triols

In a systematic effort to establish the relative as well as absolute configurations of two natural products isolated from Asomycete Daldinia concentrica, four independent (non-antipodal) diastereomers of hept-6-en-2,4,5-triol, the structure previously proposed for the natural products, were synthesized in enantiopure forms through a chiral-pool route and their optical rotation as well as NMR data were recorded. Although these four synthetic isomers cover all possible relative configurations the originally assigned triol may have, none of them gave spectroscopic data compatible with those reported for the natural products. Similar negative results were also obtained with a group of four non-antipodal diastereomers of hept-6-en-2,3,5-triol. The genuine structures of the natural products are therefore to be re-assigned.
