The γ-dissociations of 3-substituted bicyclo[1.1.1]pent-1-yl radicals and cyclobutyl radicals were investigated by abinitio SCF MO (HF, MP2, MP3 and MP4/6â31G*) and density functional methods (B3LYP/6â31G*). The transition states were found to resemble the product alkyl radical and [1.1.1]propellane or bicyclo[1.1.0]butane. Calculated endothermicities and energy barriers were comparatively low for loss of the t-butyl radical from the 3-t-butylbicyclo[1.1.1]pent-1-yl radical, which suggested that this dissociation would be significant under laboratory conditions. The dissociation was verified experimentally by means of the reaction of 1-iodo-3-t-butylbicyclo[1.1.1]pentane with tributyltin hydride. Arrhenius parameters for this dissociation were determined by end product analysis. The SCF MO and density functional calculations resulted in much higher endothermicities and energy barriers for γ-dissociations of cyclobutyl radicals, hence neither the formation of bicyclo[1.1.0]butane nor alkyl radical addition to this bicyclic compound was predicted to be important.
The free radical addition reactions of [1.1.1] propellane (1) are described in some detail and allowed the preparation of a wide variety of 1,3-disubstituted bicyclo [1.1.1.] pentanes. The reaction of 1 with free radicals was more rapid than that of bicyclo [1.1.0] butane (2), whereas bicyclo [2.1.0] pentane (3) was relatively inert

The reaction between -butyllithium and 1-bromobicyclo[1.1.1]pentane is characterised by 1,3-dehydrobromination and gives [1.1.1]propellane . In the presence of -butyllithium, undergoes ring-opening and yields 3--butylbicyclo[l.l.1]pentyllithium .
The synthesis of the lipophilic chiral amino acid 1 bearing the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane moiety is described. Linear and cyclic hexapeptides of the type Arg-Arg-Xaa-Yaa-Arg-Phe containing 1 instead of one or two tryptophan residues are prepared by solid phase peptidesynthesis and the antimicrobial and hemolytic activity of the peptides obtained are discussed.
