Solvent-induced, selective rearrangement of hydrogen cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate to hydrogen cuneane-2,6-dicarboxylate
摘要:
The rearrangement of cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid in water to cuneane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid is presented. The reaction is not a transition metal catalyzed, rather a solvent-promoted transformation, and the reaction proceeds via the semi-dissociated form of the cubane diacid, hydrogen cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate. No other, 1,3-disubstituted cuneane isomer is formed. The reaction is significantly accelerated by the addition of 1 equiv of base, suggesting that the hydrogen cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate ion plays a key role in this new type of rearrangement.

The scope and limitations of Eaton's rhodium(I)‐catalyzedvalenceisomerization of cubane to cyclooctatetraene (COT) were investigated in the context of functional group tolerability, multiple substitution modes and the ability of cubane‐alcohols to undergo one‐pot tandem Ley–Griffith Wittig reactions in the absence of a transition metal catalyst.
