Saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles. 13. Perhydroacridines. Synthesis and stereochemistry

The configurations of the perhydroacridines formed in the catalytic hydroamination of threo-methylenedicyclohexanone and the product of its cyclization — 2-hydroxy-2,3-tetramethylenebicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-one — were established by means of the ¹³C NMR spectra and alternative synthesis. It is shown that isomers with cis-anti-cis and cis-syn-cis configurations are formed as a result of the reactions. The results of x-ray diffraction analysis are presented for cis-syn-cis-N-(2-hydroxyethy1)perhydroacridine.See 1] for Communication 12.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1645–1650, December, 1987.
